"There are more important things in life than football," said the Reds boss after the 3-1 defeat. "I don't think God had a plan with me to go to the final and always have a knock.
"I've had a lot of luck in my life as I sit here as manager of Liverpool.
"I don't think I am a unlucky person or life has not been good to me.
"We will carry on, I will carry on. I will try with all I have to reach the next final, even when you know you can lose it.
"There are bigger problems in life but at this moment it doesn't feel like it, it is really hard.
"In a final when it is close you need a bit of luck even when we hadn't had any.
"We are disappointed and frustrated 100 per cent but tomorrow or later in the week we will see it a little bit more clearly and we will use this experience, that is what we have to do.
"Obviously the first goal had a big influence on our game.
"At this moment we lost faith in our style of play, we changed from passing quick and simple to complicated and lost our formation. It was not compact any more.
"I tried to change it but you could see but maybe the team was shocked, maybe the crowd was shocked.
"It is not good to concede a goal straight after half-time but you have 44 minutes to strike back but the reaction was the problem, we have to learn to react better in situations like this."
