Villarreal v Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp warns Reds to be wary of a backlash in Champions League semi-final

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool will have to "be ready to suffer" in their Champions League semi-final second leg against Villarreal, despite a two-goal advantage.

Manager Klopp warned: "We have to be ready to play a top game because they will go for us."

The Reds have been European champions six times and last triumphed in 2019.

"They will try to play much more football than we allowed them in the first game," added Klopp.

"My only concern is what we do and we have to be ready to suffer. But not going 1-0 down or whatever - that can happen in football matches - but giving the game the right direction.
