Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has reacted to the Friday’s Champions League semi-finals draw that pits his side against AS Roma.
Liverpool beat Manchester City 5-1 on aggregate to reach the semi-final while told Roma came from 4-1 down to pull through 4-4 on aggregate against Barcelona.
Friday’s draw means Jurgen Klopp men will face Roma and the German coach told Liverpoolfc.com, “Because I knew I’d have to say something after it, I tried to think about what I feel, but it was not that I thought ‘thank God not Bayern, thank God not Real Madrid, yippee Roma’ or the other way around.
“It is just the draw and I know it is very exciting, but it is good because the most important news is we are still in the competition.
“Whichever opponent we would have got, I would have said there is a chance because it is football – so there is a chance against Roma.
“But if anybody think this is the easiest draw then I cannot help this person; they obviously didn’t see both games against Barcelona. In the first result, the 4-1, it was not like the game was – it was Messi genius against a good side of Roma.
“The second leg was outstanding, it was outstanding what they did. They should have probably won four or five-nil – I was really impressed.
“It is work and no problem with that and now we are looking forward of course to the first game.”
