“After the Champions League defeat, two days we were so sad. The training sessions, we didn’t talk too much.
“We fought and showed spirit, it is the happiest day of my life as a manager. We conceded but we created more.”
He continued: “When you approach one game and are ten games in a row winning or in a good mood it is not special.
“But when we are out of the Champions League playing against Liverpool, one of the best teams, and how we played against them.
“They are exceptional players, but how we play after how we have lived these last two days means a lot to me.”
