“The focus goes completely to the end of the season for the league,” Wirtz informed Liverpoolfc.com following the loss to PSG.
“We have to play [in the] Champions League next season, we owe this to the club and to the fans. We will give our best, like we did today, and hopefully we can make minimum the top five.”
A much-improved second-leg show from Liverpool gave hope of their 2-0 deficit from Paris being overturned.
One pivotal block by Marquinhos denied Virgil van Dijk in the course of the first half and the Reds have been awarded a penalty after the break that was then rescinded following a VAR overview.
Two strikes from Ousmane Dembele within the latter levels, nevertheless, put the tie to mattress.
“We tried everything,” stated Wirtz. “I think the whole stadium was on fire and the fans, big compliments to them.
“We tried everything from the first minute, but we needed that one goal to get the turnaround started. We were just missing the goal. That’s football – when you don’t score goals, you don’t win games.”
