Lewis Koumas, who scored his first Champions League goal, emphasized the importance of maintaining a calm mindset.

Liverpool defeated LASK Linz 6-3 in the second round of the Champions League after a hat-trick from Barcora, and goals from Araujo, Frimpong, and Lewis Koumas. Lewis Koumas said that calmly waiting for scoring opportunities is very important, and he was happy with Barcora's outstanding performance.

After securing two consecutive wins, Liverpool currently sits in 5th place in the Champions League standings. In the next round of the Premier League, Liverpool will travel to face Brentford.

Liverpool striker Lewis Koumas said: "It was a fantastic win, but the most important thing is that we have to learn from the last game and respond to bounce back. I think we did very well and now we need to carry that performance into the next game."

It's worth noting that this is also 21-year-old Lewis Koumas' first goal in the Champions League. Koumas said, "This is truly significant; I'm very happy to score in such a top competition as the Champions League."

“We can’t dwell on missed opportunities or those good chances we didn’t capitalize on. I think it’s very important for a striker to maintain that mindset. The previous two goals were disallowed for offside, so I just kept waiting for the next chance. Until the end of the game, the opportunity finally came.”

Lewis Koumas shared, "Flinkon controlled the ball and then crossed it, and the ball bounced. I was just focused on touching the ball and making sure it was on target. I did, and the ball eventually rolled between the goalkeeper's legs and into the goal."

"At that moment, I suddenly realized that I had scored in the Champions League. It was an incredible feeling. I ran out and shared the moment with the fans."

In addition, when talking about his teammate Barcoa's performance, Lewis Kumars said, "I don't think he's had a good time. It's not that he's been bad on the field, because we all know how good he is in the locker room. But living in another country and having to adapt to a new environment as quickly as possible is really not easy."

“When I was loaned to other teams before, I found it challenging to adapt to new environments, let alone to come to a completely different country. I’m really happy to see him show his ability, and I hope he can continue to perform like this. Barkola is a very talented player, and I believe he will shine at Liverpool.”
