Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has talked up his team's rivals for the UEFA Champions League title this season, saying he considered Juventus as the favourites for the prize at the start of the campaign.

The Reds were beaten in the 2018 final by Real Madrid, although they went one step further last term, winning 2-0 against Tottenham Hotspur in the Spanish capital to clinch their sixth European crown.

They will continue the defence of their title on Tuesday, when they head back to the Wanda Metropolitano to face Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 knockout clash.
