Liverpool defender Andy Robertson started in Jurgen Klopp side’s defeat in Barcelona.

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has admitted to the Telegraph that he is baffled by his side’s defeat against Barcelona.

Liverpool were beaten 3-0 at the Nou Camp, yet they matched Barca for large portions of the match.

The Reds were guilty of missing a series of great chances, before Lionel Messi turned the screw.

And Robertson admits that he doesn’t feel like the result is a fair reflection on Liverpool’s performance in the contest.

“It’s a strange one because we played well but we got beat 3-0 and it’s baffling how that’s happened,” the £10 million defender (BBC Sport) said.

“We didn’t take out chances and they had a bit of luck with the second but that’s what happens. It’s going to be a tough task now but now we have to think about Saturday first and foremost and then believe that we can do something special on Tuesday.”

Mohamed Salah missed Liverpool’s best chance of the match when they were 3-0 down, but plenty of the Reds players missed openings before that.

Sadio Mane blazed over when well placed at 0-0, and if he had scored the night may have been very different for Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp’s side now face a massively uphill task, if they are to qualify for the next round.

Liverpool are next in action on Saturday evening when they take on Newcastle United.
