Rodgers: "I was so pleased with the performance. If you look at the squad and youthfulness of the team, to play at that level I was so pleased. 

"We gave away a sloppy goal, we should defend the throw in better, but I was so pleased with the team, the technical quality and how we imposed our style.

"I thought we played ever so well, really dominated the game, very pleased with the performance. You come into the semi-final and you want to start well, you want to bring your intensity and tempo into the game and the players, the only thing that was missing was the quality in the final third.
