Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is glad his team don't have to play Inter Milan every week.
The Reds went down 1-0 to the Italian side at Anfield but still advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals after claiming a 2-0 win in the first leg at San Siro.
"I'm glad we don't face Inter every week, they're a very tricky opponent. They are fighters, they are warriors," Klopp told BT Sport.
"The difficulties we had were pretty close to what I expected. Inter are a really, really good side, set up for these kind of games.
"Without playing brilliantly we had clear-cut chances. Over the two legs it's completely fine that they won one and we went through. We could've done better against an opponent that makes life uncomfortable.
"It was a really interesting game. In the end we lost the game which obviously is not cool, we didn't come here to lose a home game."
