Liverpool striker Diogo Jota: Benfica comeback gave us chills | OneFootball

Liverpool striker Diogo Jota admits Benfica gave them some nervy moments last night.

The Reds reached the Champions League semifinals, though were held 3-3 in the second-leg of their quarterfinal.

Jota said: "I expected a good game. I believed we could win. We were winning 3-1, maybe then we relaxed a bit and Benfica took advantage of the space behind our backs to score. It caused some chills, but we managed to pass.

"We had a great first half with a few chances. Benfica scored a goal out of nowhere. There was a rebound that isolated a player. In the second half it was 3-1 in our favor and it was with the substitutions that the result became more balanced. It didn't go that way. We did our job.

"Until the end I want to help the team. It's always important to score, assist and contribute in the best way. We have a lot of games every three days. Now we have [Manchester] City in the Cup and we want to reach the final."
