RB Leipzig coach Nagelsmann: Liverpool players know they didn't deserve to win

RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann dismissed Liverpool's performance for last night's victory over the Germans.

Liverpool took full advantage of errors in Leipzig's defence to go ahead through a quick-fire double from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in the second half.

The away win at Budapest's Puskas Arena puts the Reds in control of the Champions League last-16 tie, but Leipzig boss Nagelsmann was not convinced his side were second-best.

"When you win, you're always right," he said.

"We earned a lot of respect in the 90 minutes.

"And what I noticed when I left the field, the Liverpool players did not use the words "deserved victory".

"We were definitely not worse and certainly not by two goals."
