"We need more than a miracle to beat Liverpool and reach the semi-finals but we are not going to England just for a holiday," said the PSV Eindhoven captain.
"It is obvious that in Eindhoven they were the better side, but I thought the 3-0 scoreline was harsh. We had some chances to score but we didn't take them.
"We are not going to throw this game because we are playing for pride and we don't want it to be ridiculous.
"Any kind of win at Anfield would leave a good taste in our mouths, so we will try to score a goal and see what happens."
