Liverpool midfielder Leighton Clarkson proud of Champions League performance

Liverpool midfielder Leighton Clarkson was pleased with his performance in their 1-1 draw with Champions League opponents FC Midtjylland.

Clarkson enjoyed a full 90 on the evening.

“It's stuff you dream of as a child obviously, making your Champions League debut, and to do it here and now it's a special moment for me and my family and it's one I won't forget," the midfielder told Liverpoolfc.com post-match.

“I thought I did alright. First half, I thought I was better because we were playing more football and I thought I was getting into the game a lot more and making a few decent passes.

“Then in the second half we weren't really at it and we were dropping deeper and weren't really playing possession football, and that's something to work towards with the games coming up."
