2: Klopp's pre-match vocalizations:
1) Outlook for the second round:
Although going down 1-3 in the first leg made it feel like we were out of the tournament, it gave us the opportunity to give it a go. We had no choice but to give it our all, which is exactly what we should have done.
The 1-3 scoreline was a reflection of the first leg, they did play better that night and we didn't play as well as we should have, but that was only the first half.
2) Whether the players will be motivated by the experience of turning back Barcelona in 2019:
That reversal was tougher than the Barca one. When I was at Dortmund years ago, I lost 0-3 in the first round to

I was asked by a German journalist if we were out of the competition and I could only answer that we might be. But in the second leg we were 2-0 up in 37 minutes, and even though we didn't advance in the end, the most important thing was the attitude we showed, soccer is soccer, and we all know that many things are possible on the pitch.
I understand that people are more concerned about the result, but I think what is more important is our performance, we have to play true to ourselves, we have to bring out our best, we have to try to win the game and then we will see what the result is.
Whenever we're up 1-0, we have a chance to score another goal in 1, 5 or 10 minutes.
3) Talk about those big upsets in team history:
We can't take for granted that we can turn it around, especially without the fans. You don't get to turn it around again just because you've turned it around before, you only have a chance if you play good football in the moment.
4) Talk about the key to the game:
overpower

, you have to produce your best defensively while creating your own chances, I can't invent something new just because I'm 1-3 down.
We have to regain our confidence first and foremost, and if we think to ourselves that it is possible to win, then we have a chance, but it is really difficult.
What we actually have to do is very simple, and that's to put on our best performance.
5) Talk about no fans:
We have to create the atmosphere ourselves. Not having fans is just one of the problems we have to face, the score of the first leg, the strength of the opponents are all problems we have to face.
6) Talk about defense:
faced with

The strength of our defense had to come up with the best performance, but we didn't do it in the first round. Zeroes are important, but that's true for every game, and I don't think there's any team in the world that can make the

The first goal was a genius long pass, but the other two goals were a result of our defense not doing enough and we have to change.
3: Robertson takes part in the pre-match conference:
1) We're not out of the race yet, and perhaps almost no one expects anything from us, but we believe we're capable of a better performance.
2) Turning back Barcelona would not have been possible without the fans, the 54,000 fans in the ground made us feel 10 inches taller, the fans increased our fighting spirit by 5%, we needed to create the atmosphere ourselves before the game, we needed to leave no stone unturned.
