We are all trying to make an effort and find a solution to this. However, we have not succeeded. We must continue to try to find consistency. We have a chance to reach the quarter-finals tomorrow evening. This would be very important for us. We won't give up, we will keep trying," he said.
'WE MUST DO EVERYTHING WE CAN'
Stating that they need to progress to the next round, Robertson said, "Our goal should be to reach the quarter-finals. Tomorrow evening will be a huge match for us. We must do everything we can."
'WE MUST SHOW WE CAN REACH THE LAST 8 TEAMS'
The 32-year-old experienced player touched on the importance of the UEFA Champions League, saying, "The Champions League has always been important. We showed that last season. We were ahead in the Premier League. We don't have that this season. We must show that we are good enough to reach the last 8 teams. However, we did not display that adequately last week. We are aware of this. We will prove that we are good enough to reach the last 8. It's a very big match. This is because we believe in ourselves and our ability to reach the quarter-finals. We will deliver a very good performance and send our fans home much happier," he said.
'WE KNOW WE NEED TO STEP ON THE FIELD WITH OUR BEST VERSION'
Andrew Robertson conveyed that they want to reach the quarter-finals by playing good football, saying, "We have a chance to progress. We lost 3-0 to Barcelona, and no one gave us a chance. You need to trust your experience. We know we need to step on the field with our best version tomorrow evening. We have enough quality to win by playing good football. What we need to do is win tomorrow. That should be our only goal," he stated.
'THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE QUALITY WORK'
The Scottish player stated that Galatasaray is a strong team, saying, "We lost to them twice this season, but they are currently playing away. The Galatasaray fans deserve credit as well. They created a very tough atmosphere for us in both matches. It is different when we play at home. We will show that tomorrow. Galatasaray is a strong team. They have always done quality work. They are very strong up front, good at the back, and have a team that works very well in the middle. Our goal is to be better. I believe we can do this with the quality players in our squad," he said.
'PLAYING AGAINST GALATASARAY IS VERY DIFFICULT'
Robertson expressed that the matches they played against Galatasaray away were challenging, saying, "Galatasaray took advantage of playing at home. Their fans created a tough atmosphere. The players also performed well. We faced this in both matches, but we need to be much better tomorrow. If we do this, we will show them what Liverpool is. It is very difficult to play against them. I believe we have the strength to turn this around tomorrow," he concluded.
