Despite the elimination, Adel Taarabt (32 years old, 13 LdC appearances this season) prefers to retain the positive.
“We came, we played the match and we saw two great teams. For me it’s sure that Liverpool are one of the best teams. Maybe they’ll even win the Champions League. We didn’t not to be ashamed, it’s not every day that we see a Portuguese team in the quarter-finals. We will have had a good campaign. We leave with our heads held high even if we would have liked to do something more” , confided the Moroccan median on beIN Sports.
