"The idea was to win and guarantee fourth place," said the Reds boss.
"We didn't achieve that but a draw is another option and puts us in a very strong position. Now we can think about the next game against Chelsea and hopefully we can progress in the Champions League and be really focused in the final.
"I am really pleased with the second-half because I think that the team played much better. To score two goals in the second-half and create the chances we did was very, very positive.
"We started the game controlling things for the first 30 minutes but then we conceded the goal and we couldn't manage. So at half-time we talked about how we could improve and I think the mentality of the players was positive.
"You must guarantee the Champions League for next season. We are almost sure now in fourth position and so we can think about Chelsea.
"I'd like to finish as high as possible but sometimes this cannot happen and at the end you must be happy with the fourth position and happy if you do well in the Champions League."
