Atletico Madrid's Koke says Liverpool's dip in form has no bearing on Champions League tie

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has dismissed the notion that Liverpool's poor run of form gives his side the edge ahead of their Champions League last 16 tie at Anfield.

The Spanish outfit will take a 1-0 lead to Merseyside and will be positive they can move through to the quarter-finals with Liverpool struggling for form and failing to hit a shot on target in the first leg.

Koke said Jurgen Klopp's side were 'a great team' and insisted that their recent dip in results would have no bearing when the teams meet on Wednesday night.
