Brendan Rodgers said, “It’s always disheartening to lose the second leg of a semi-final. Also, it wasn’t aggressive enough in the first half.”

“Moreover, we just missed out, so we’re disappointed, but we need to finish the season strongly now. Also, look ahead to next season’s growth in the summer.”
