The sentiment was echoed by other Liverpool players who expressed their feelings about the defeat, including Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, who both missed penalties.
Starting with a cup final." Meanwhile, Nunez penned the words: "Get up and carry on, as always."
It was a similar message from skipper Virgil van Dijk after the shootout defeat to PSG with Liverpool in a great position to win the double this season
Speaking after the Champions League exit, Van Dijk said: " It was totally there for Liverpool and what we showed in Paris and unfortunately we’re out on penalties and that is the reality.
"I think in the first half we created dangerous moments and they have the quality as well, and then it comes down to penalties.
"It's part of football, I said to the guys, obviously, you can be disappointed because we're out of the competition, but chin up and get ready for the next challenge, a beautiful one on the weekend.”
