BERIZZO: "WE MADE UP FOR MISTAKES AND STARTED TO BUILD"

"We always believed we were in the game and the point is impressive" he added

Sevilla FC coach, Eduardo Berizzo, evaluated his side's opening Champions League draw at Anfield: "The result left us feeling very positive. To get a draw after the first half where we struggled a lot is very impressive. They caused us danger on the wings and in the second half we were able to balance that out and we started to build and become a lot more solid defensively - pushing forward and believing we could get the result we achieved."

The Argentinian coach added "we controlled the centre of the field when Sarabia came on. He gave us structure and we started to gain control of the opposition. Where they did damage on the wings we started to measure up and we played football more freely until we found the equaliser... we even could have won at the death. It's a result to value because it's a very difficult place to come and we always believed we were in the match and could continue competing."

Berizzo explained the actions that led to his sending off in the second half: "I was trying to make up for a similar action that happened earlier on, where I was in the wrong. I wanted to make up for my mistake and the only one who didn't understand that was the referee and he sent me off. In no way did I want to waste time when we were behind."
