Post-game, Klopp stated: No. Wow, you lose a quarter-final in the FA Cup and if there was a mental drain it would be really difficult if we have to deal with human beings like that. We've played football for ages and you lose games if that always leads to a mental state or situation where you need help... it's just a normal thing.

We all fail on a daily basis, maybe without even recognising it we just get along with it. Today, if you don't give all then it's not mentally (draining), but you have to react on it and the rest is (something) we are used to unfortunately since we were kids that from time to time we lose a football game.

I got the question already before, what kind of reaction I expect now? Nothing, they go to their countries and I hope they come back and have nothing (injuries) and then we think about Brighton when they come back and we know who can play again and that will be tricky enough.

In general, the team is in an outstanding situation in the moment. That we got through all of these different, difficult situations is absolutely exceptional. For today, we could have won the game and we would have deserved it, but we lost it and Man United deserved it as well. That's the situation."
