Jürgen Klopp offered his reaction to Liverpool’s pairing with Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League, predicting a ‘tough and intense’ tie for the teams.
The Reds will return to the scene of their European glory when they face the La Liga side at Estadio Metropolitano on Tuesday February 18, before the return at Anfield on Wednesday March 11.
Klopp watched the draw at the club’s team base in Qatar as he prepares his side to contest the FIFA Club World Cup this week – and afterwards, he explained to Liverpoolfc.com why he’s expecting a two-legged tie of the highest quality.
