Liverpool boss Klopp makes Man City claim following Champions League draw

No issue

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has claimed he’s not overly bothered about drawing Manchester City in the Champions League, despite the fact it’s an all English tie, and knockout competitions when teams have to play sides they know so well can throw up unexpected shocks and surprises.

The Express report Klopp said: “I’ve said it before and it’s still the truth, it’s always common in a draw that you’ll get your neighbour, more or less, but to be honest I don’t mind, really.

“It is exactly like it was before – we take what we’ve got. Now it’s Manchester City, let’s go.

“We’ve lost once and we’ve won once against them in the league – and I don’t think they thought before the best draw they could have got is Liverpool.

“That’s a sign for us and how strong we can be.

“We are for sure not the favourites in this round, but in the last eight there are not a lot of favourites – maybe two of them, Bayern and Barcelona – but thank god it’s football and nothing is decided.

“We have a few games to play until then, but I am really looking forward to it and we will give it everything.”

Goals

One thing that people will be expecting when the two sides meet is goals as the duo have brilliant attacking sides, and their games so far this season have been exciting.

The one thing City will be looking to do is get revenge for the defeat Liverpool inflicted on them earlier in the season, and they will want to show not only are they the best team in the league, but they’re also the best team in Europe and even if they get past Liverpool, there are sides like Barcelona and Real Madrid left in the competition to boot.
