Liverpool reaches CL final despite 4-2 loss at Roma

Liverpool advanced to its first Champions League final in more than a decade despite a 4-2 loss at Roma on Wednesday.

The Reds scored two early goals and that was all they needed to advance 7-6 on aggregate after a 5-2 win in the first leg of the semi-finals.

"Tonight was all about getting the job done," said Liverpool midfielder James Milner, who scored an own goal.

"We're through to the final now and we've got there by beating some very good teams along the way."
"That was ridiculous. ... But Liverpool certainly didn't steal anything from us. They played 45 extraordinary minutes (in the first leg) and we played two second halves that were just as extraordinary."
"It was the first time we were not as good as we can be. So we needed luck. "We cannot go to a Champions League final with nice football all the time. We have to suffer at times."
"We came in as a qualifier and now we're in the final," Klopp said. "Now we will go to Kiev, which sounds crazy but is the truth. We will go to Kiev."
Afterward, Liverpool players posed near their fans behind a banner that read, "Sean Cox: You'll never walk alone."
