Luis Diaz wrapped up the victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side in the 87th minute. Among the celebrations, a Benfica fan could be seen throwing a flagpole towards the Colombian.
Once Robertson went to take a corner kick at the very end of the game, the whistle blew and so did Benfica fans’ heads. Lighters started being launched in the Scot’s direction.
The left-back was asked about the actions of the Primeira Liga side’s fans. To this, he amusingly responded to BT Sport (via LiverpoolEcho):
Robertson then took a more serious stance on the object-throwing, continuing:
Andy Robertson concluded by saying:
Liverpool now have the Champions League tie in their hands and will take a huge 3-1 victory back to Anfield for the second-leg on April 13.
Sparks will fly when Liverpool host Manchester City
Andy Robertson and Liverpool’s attention now turns to a huge encounter with Manchester City this Sunday in the Premier League. The battle between the two title rivals is keenly awaited with both sides looking to put themselves in control of their own destiny.
City currently sit atop, ahead of the Reds by a mere point. Both have played 30 games and it doesn’t get much bigger than Sunday’s clash.
The Cityzens also won their game on Tuesday night, managing to break down a stern Atletico Madrid wall to edge ahead in the tie by 1-0.
The stage is set for a tantalizing affair between the two Premier League heavyweights with an FA Cup semi-final between the pair also set for April 16.
