It was almost a repeat of the first-leg as the German side got beat by their English opponents by the same scoreline in the same location.
Julian Nagelsmann has no complaints about RB Leipzig’s Champions League elimination as he believes Liverpool deservedly advanced to the next stage of the competition.
Liverpool put their domestic struggles aside when they returned to Europe for the last-16 second leg on Wednesday night.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane helped the Reds grab a 2-0 win and ease into the quarter-finals with a 4-0 aggregate win over Leipzig.
The Bundesliga outfit barely threatened the opposition defense and were underwhelming for the majority of the match despite having more possession of the ball.
“I think we deserved to be knocked out, mainly due to today’s match,” said Nagelsmann post-match, via Goal.
“There weren’t a lot of emotional moments, we were too slow to create actions, we were just possessing the ball.
“We didn’t have a lot of chances in the second half, a lot of moments kept being squandered. We could see there was some respect in terms of counterattacks but that respect meant we reacted wrongly, then we conceded the first goal.
“We were defending but not being active enough and kept too much distance from the attackers and you could see the quality they had.
“It is well-deserved Liverpool go into the next round.”
