Liverpool beat AC Milan 1-0 away from home. Left-back Andrew Robertson said the hard-fought victory stemmed not only from the team's fighting spirit and resilience, but also from the rebound the team desperately needed during a slump.
Liverpool secured a crucial three points with an 88th-minute penalty from Dominique Szoboszlai. After the match, Robertson described it as a "huge result." He emphasized that facing a strong opponent at the San Siro requires the team to demonstrate fighting spirit and determination, and to stay in the game during key moments.
Robertson said: "We knew it was a very tough game, and our opponents were in good form. So we had to show fighting spirit and determination, and in the end we got that penalty. Keeping a clean sheet tonight was very important for us; it was a perfect night."
Liverpool's recent form has dipped, with both of their Premier League matches since the start of December ending in draws. Robertson believes this victory is crucial for the entire club: "We all need it. We know our recent results and performances haven't been good enough, and the Champions League is very important for Liverpool."
"Fans expect us to go further in this competition, so we must improve our performance to build new momentum. Therefore, this result is very important for all of us."
With this victory, Liverpool secured a place in the top eight of the Champions League standings, avoiding the play-off zone which requires two additional matches. Robertson pointed out that reaching the top eight had been the team's goal at the start of the season, and he reminded the team to stay focused and strive to continue their efforts.
