Benítez: difficult to understand

"It is difficult to understand what happened," said Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez, after the dramatic ending in first leg UEFA Champions League semifinal "There were 94 or 95 minutes on the clock. I was really surprised and of course very disappointed with the own goal – these kind of bouncing balls are very difficult to deal with."

The reaction in the dressing room afterwards, said The Spaniard in uefa.com, was one of great disappointment. "The only thing we can do now is be positive and think about the next game. We now need to go there and win. It's not easy to create chances in these games but we had three clear chances to score and I am disappointed we did not take them.

"We have to change our mindset now and be positive for the return at Stamford Bridge. My confidence is based on watching the team today. We were on top for a lot of the game – especially at the start of the second half. With a bit of luck we can do it [reach the final]."(*)
