Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits victory over Aston Villa offers good momentum for their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
The Reds meet Real at Anfield trailing their quarterfinal tie 2-1.
Klopp said, "Whatever we can do, we will take. That's clear. We need a perfect performance on Wednesday if we want to have a chance only – just for a chance. I really think the way we played and the way Real Madrid played there, it doesn't look very promising but the good thing is we can play better.
"That would change the game already, but we have to. We don't have to make it now too big already… Real Madrid doesn't come here and think they are already through and these kind of things. It will be a tough one, but we will give it a try I can promise – and that's the only thing we can say. This today helps, of course.
"When you are in a moment, when you win every game and stuff like this, you don't feel the intensity, you feel nothing – you want to play the next game. You could play the next game the next day. Obviously, for us in the moment it is not that easy and we have to work really hard, we need to have five chances to score a goal or 10 to score a goal and these kind of things. You have to go through that, you cannot change that just because you want to – if you want it to be different, you have to work for it and we did that today against a strong opponent.
"A very important three points and whatever it will give us for Wednesday, we will use."
