Liverpool are Champions League team to beat and would terrify Real Madrid, says Le Saux

Despite the presence of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Roma, the former England defender believes the Reds are the "team to beat" in the competition

The Champions League title is Liverpool's "for the taking" after they "blew away" Manchester City in the quarter finals, Graeme Le Saux says.

The Reds eased past City with a 5-1 aggregate win to set up a last-four tie with Roma, who overturned a 4-1 first-leg deficit against Barcelona with a 3-0 home victory on Tuesday.

Although Le Saux feels Roma pose a threat to the Anfield club, the former England and Chelsea defender is confident Jurgen Klopp's side can get through and will terrify fellow semi-finalists Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final.
