Liverpool maintained their flawless Champions League record with a narrow 1-0 victory over Girona, extending their winning streak to six matches. Andy Robertson, who was named UEFA's Player of the Match, offered a candid assessment of the team's performance.
"Six wins out of six – you can't ask for much better than that. It's not easy to do or there would be more teams doing it," Robertson remarked, acknowledging the rarity of such a feat. The Scottish left-back admitted that the team's display was far from their best, particularly in the first half when they struggled to maintain control.
Robertson highlighted the unusual vulnerability in Liverpool's defence, stating, "We left ourselves too open and gave our goalkeeper too much to do, which isn't like us". Despite the subpar performance, Robertson emphasised the importance of securing three points, especially in an away Champions League fixture.
The defender expressed satisfaction with the clean sheet and the win, while recognising the need for improvement in future matches. Robertson's individual recognition as Player of the Match was met with humility, as he stressed the collective effort of the team over personal accolades.
