Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has explained that he is "really disappointed" about the 1-1 draw with Olympique Lyonnais on Wednesday night.
The Reds dominated a fair part of the game, before Ryan Babel unleashed a thunderous shot into the top corner leaving the 'keeper with no chance. But the Ligue 1 side pulled one back at the death to snatch a point, when Lisandro Lopez fired past Reina to level the terms.
"I am really disappointed because I think we played one of our best games of the season so far, but we did not get the result we wanted," Reina told the club's official website.
"I thought we'd done enough to win. We didn't deserve to lose at home when we played Lyon, and we didn't deserve to draw here, but that's the way it is and we have to face it.
"We were really unlucky but it's the way things are going at the moment. We have to keep fighting while we have a chance."
He added: "At the moment we are not in the best situation, but I think we have a strong character and enough quality to sort things out.
"All we can do is play with desire and passion and try to be more consistent."
The Reds do not hold the key to their fate, as it lies with Fiorentina, who need three points in two games to qualify and oust the Merseyside club from the competition and send them down into the Europa League.
"The worst thing is we are not depending on ourselves," the Spanish keeper said.
"We need Lyon to get a result in Fiorentina, but all we can do, and have to do, is win in Hungary.
"We will keep fighting and the least we can do is win our two remaining games."
