Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has defended his decision to bring off Darwin Nunez before the hour mark, despite his side needing a three goal turnaround against Real Madrid.
The Reds headed into the second leg of their Champions League last 16 clash 5-2 down on aggregate to Los Blancos. As a result, Klopp selected an attacking starting line-up, with Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo all featuring.
Despite that, the Reds struggled to create much of note, having just five shots on target over the 90 minutes. With the game still goalless after 57 minutes, Klopp opted to make two changes, hauling off Nunez and Jota in favour of Roberto Firmino and Harvey Elliott.
