Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool's Champions League tie against Inter Milan is "only at half-time" after a 2-0 win at the San Siro, and revealed an injury concern for Diogo Jota.

Liverpool faced a tough trip to Italy in first leg of their last-16 match, but late goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah saw them take control of the tie.

As Klopp admits himself, it was not Liverpool's best performance as Inter Milan tested them throughout, but the visitors' European experience won through late on.

However, the only downside of the victory was an ankle injury for Jota, who has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, and was replaced by Firmino at half-time.

Klopp said: "It's half-time, nothing else. It will be a tricky one and we have to be ready for that. They played good, they played differently, but they are really good and that's why it is half-time, 2-0.

"If it is a proper half-time, Like today, if it was 2-0 at half-time I don't tell my boys 'Job done, put your legs on the table'. It is a tricky result so why should we think about it now.

"It was an incredibly physical game so we had to find a way... We didn't have a brilliant day but a good enough day to be deserved winners because we scored two wonderful goals. They had their moments, but mainly counter-attacks when we lost the ball in the wrong spaces.
