Though Liverpool won the first leg, the club still has to contest the second leg at Manchester City on April 10, before the overall aggregate victor can proceed to the Champions League semifinal.

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said his side would still have to "work like hell" to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, despite securing a commanding 3-0 quarter-final first-leg lead over runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City.

After seeing his side lose 3-0 at Anfield, Pep Guardiola was critical of the Liverpool supporters who attacked the City team en route to the stadium.

"It goes down to the likes of Ox, Gini [Georginio Wijnaldum] when he came on, Mo and Hendo [Jordan Henderson] for helping me".

Liverpool won the game 3-0 and will play Man City in the second leg of the tie next week. "But in this competition the boxes make the difference and they were so good in those situations".

"Today you are talking about Real Madrid going through, Barcelona going through, Bayern Munich going through and Liverpool going through". I have never been part of the best team in the world, but I always knew it is possible to beat them.

It had an effect on the Premier League Champions-elect as the team performance wasn't up to par with their unbelievable form in England's main division. "The bus incident had no effect on us", club captain Vincent Kompany is quoted by The Guardian to have said.

'I do not feel good about this right now.

"This behaviour by a number of people who threw bottles, cans and pyrotechnics towards the bus is completely unacceptable and we will conduct enquiries to identify who was responsible and bring them to justice".

"Slowly it is starting to pay off and it helps me to create moments like that and that is what I have wanted to do from midfield".

Guardiola was fairly classy about the whole situation in his pre-match interview with BT Sport and said: "I know that it is not Liverpool". And they got heavily punished for it tonight.

Liverpool, meanwhile, released a statement on the club website apologising to their opponents.

"That game and getting the right result will mean just as much if not more for our fans".
