Benitez remains upbeat

Liverpool conceded a 90th-minute goal at Lyon to leave their Champions League hopes hanging in the balance. Substitute Ryan Babel had put the Reds ahead late on with a 25-yard thunderbolt into the top corner. But some sloppy defending from the Reds allowed Lisandro through on goal and he calmly chipped a shot over Reds keeper Pepe Reina to dramatically equalise. Liverpool had dominated most of the match but were guilty of wasting a number of earlier chances. It means Liverpool could be knocked out if Fiorentina beat Lyon next time out.
