Jurgen Klopp was not surprised by the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw. The current European champions will face Madrid's "Atletico" club in the quarter-finals. Speaking after the draw ceremony, the coach said he expects an intriguing fight. "Very interesting draw," - said J. Klopp. - "Even before the ceremony, I thought we would get one of the Madrid teams - and that's what happened." "Madrid is a place that brings back great memories for us, but this time we will have to play in 'Atletico's' stronghold in front of their fans. These are really tough draws, but if we look at the other matchups, we can see another four or five finals." "I don't think Diego Simeone is running around the room happy that he got 'Liverpool'. Both teams are in for tough matches, but there is nothing else to expect in this stage," - added J. Klopp. The first match between "Liverpool" and "Atletico" in Spain will take place on February 18, with the second leg in Liverpool on March 11.
