Jamie Carragher was disappointed to concede a late goal but is confident the Reds can cancel it out by scoring an away goal of their own in Leverkusen.
He said: "3-1 is a very good result for us. People were talking before the match about how 0-0 or 1-0 would be a good result because we were without Steven Gerrard, but we've done better than that.
"It was disappointing that they scored a late goal but we can't worry about that too much. We have to make sure we go over there and score a goal of our own. Obviously we'll have to keep it tight and make sure we don't concede, but I'm confident that if we can get at them and put them under pressure then we can finish the job off.
"Obviously we'll have Steven Gerrard back for that game and that will be a big boost for us. Having said that, I thought Didi and Igor were superb last night and Steven wasn't really missed.
"It's a good result for us and now we can look forward to the cup final on Sunday. I'm looking forward to watching how Chelsea get on against Barcelona now and then taking them on in the final. This is a big week for us and we've started it well."
