Liverpool’s goal is to become a team nobody wants to face, manager Juergen Klopp said on Tuesday ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Benfica at Anfield.
Liverpool lead 3-1 after victory in Lisbon last week and Klopp’s side are in a rich vein of form having lost only once in their last 22 games in all competitions, winning 18 times.
Liverpool are second in the Premier League, trailing leaders Manchester City by a point, and have also reached the semifinals of the FA Cup. “The next game has no influence on the line-up for tomorrow but the last game has so we have to see,” Klopp said.“We see it as a super important game to us. We tried so hard last year to qualify for the Champions League and now we can make it to semis, which is incredible.”
