Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool need to play “two super games” to go through to the Champions League against Real Madrid. The Reds bounced back from their 3-0 defeat at Wolves in early February by picking up an important win at Everton and top-four rivals Newcastle to get their season back on track ahead of Tuesday’s big first leg at Anfield, reports GazetaBlic Sport.
“It will be a great game of football,” said Klopp.
“I’m really happy we can play now, four weeks ago it would have been different, but life is about timing. Maybe we found our form at the right time for this game although I would have expected us to be ourselves if we hadn’t won the last two games because it’s a different competition and you have to take that opportunity.”
“We’ve got these last two results and hopefully we can build on that, but we need to play a super game, we need to play two super games, to be honest, to go through. I have no problem with that because if you don’t play your best, you don’t have a chance – Real Madrid don’t have to play their best and still have a chance! This is the difference. This is very special. I can’t wait”, he concluded.
