DBasia.news – Liverpool were finally able to end their bad trend in a home match at home to Aston Villa on Saturday (10/4). The Reds manager, Jurgen Klopp hopes the Anfield curse could completely disappeared from his club.
Liverpool was able to make a comeback to beat Villa with a score of 2-1 in the 2020-2021 continued Premier League. Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the winning goal in injury time.
It was Liverpool’s first win at Anfield in nine matches. The previous six matches even ended in defeat.
There is a reason behind Klopp’s hope. A great match awaits Liverpool at Anfield, next week.
Liverpool are scheduled to host Real Madrid in the 2020-2021 Champions League quarter-final second leg, Thursday (15/4) am, WIB. Mohamed Salah and his team mates needed to win with two goals without reply to advance to the semifinals.
“We haven’t turned things around in the last few weeks at Anfield, that’s the reason why we lost six games in a row. Hopefully we’ve changed that now,” Klopp said on the club’s official website.
“We have a tough opponent that is coming, Real Madrid. It will be challenging but we will try, that’s the only thing we can say.”
Klopp’s optimism
The victory over Villa did raise a sense of optimism for Klopp. He believes Liverpool have the opportunity to make a comeback against Madrid.
Moreover, Liverpool were in a similar situation when they challenged Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals two seasons ago. That experience at least will make the Merseyside Red appear all-out in the match later.
“We need a perfect performance if we still want to have a chance. We will make Real Madrid come and not think they have qualified,” he concluded.
