Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp has urged his players to be ready to put in their best effort in their Champions league semifinal clash, after they were drawn to play against Italian giants, AS Roma.
Klopp insisted that Roma cannot be considered as the easy option after the Reds avoided Real Madrid an Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi final draw on Thursday.
Speaking in an interview with Metro, Klopp said: “If anybody think this is the easiest draw then I cannot help this person; they obviously didn’t see both games against Barcelona. In the first result, the 4-1, it was not like the game was – it was Messi genius against a good side of Roma. ‘The second leg was outstanding, it was outstanding what they did. They should have probably won four or five-nil – I was really impressed. ‘It is work and no problem with that and now we are looking forward of course to the first game.”
Liverpool sealed their spot in the last four after defeating Manchester City 5-1 on aggregate. Roma, on the other hand, recorded one of the most astonishing comebacks in Champions League history against Barcelona.
