D. Mertens "Anfield" stadium does not scare: "Such football nights excite me"

On this evening in the UEFA Champions League, there will be a highly anticipated match between "Liverpool" and "Napoli."

If Paris Saint-Germain avoids any surprises in Belgrade, failure for Napoli or Liverpool would mean elimination from the tournament.

The situation is particularly difficult for the Liverpool team - they need a victory by a margin of no less than two goals. Liverpool lost all away matches this season, but it is expected that the walls of Anfield stadium will help them today.

Nevertheless, Napoli forward Dries Mertens is not afraid of the opponents' fans and states that on his first visit to Anfield, he did not see anything he had not seen before.

"I remember best that they have a sign 'This is Anfield,' which everyone constantly talks about. When I arrived for the first time, I thought I would see something extraordinary," said the Belgian about his first visit to Anfield stadium while playing for the Utrecht team.

"I went into the tunnel of the stadium and asked, 'Where is it?' They told me I missed it. Later in the second half, I saw 'that thing,' and then I asked, 'Is this something special?'.

The atmosphere? You know, in Italy, everyone is crazy about football, so we are already used to it. Famous stadiums excite me, so I enjoy evenings like this," continued D. Mertens.
