Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits they failed to meet expected standards for tonight's 0-0 draw with Bayern Munich.

The Champions League round 16 tie is alive with the second-leg to be staged in Germany.

Klopp lamented: "We made life more difficult with the last pass today - about 10 or 12 times a promising situation [fizzled out]. We can play better. We should play better.

"In the first half we had the bigger chances. I can't remember any chances for either side in the second half. It wasn't a Champions League night from that point of view. From a result point of view, it's OK. It's not a dream result but it's a good one."

He also stated: "It was a clean sheet without the big man [Virgil van Dijk]. A lot of people wouldn't have expected that. The defending was good. A lot of things were really good. I'm not over the moon but I'm completely OK with the game."

Klopp also had a pop at Bayern's ambition on the night.

"If Bayern had been full of confidence we might have had more space. Both centre-half pairings had a lot of ball and played around. Not a lot of things happened. We had our moments and in those moments you have to score.

"It was an intense game for both sides. It is not a game we will remember in 30 years. It's the result we have and we will wok with that."
