Jürgen Klopp believes that tonight's match against Madrid's "Atletico" is the biggest challenge so far this season.
Liverpool arrives in the Spanish capital as the clear favorite, but J. Klopp, despite the opponents' highly competitive game this season, expects a particularly tough match.
"Playing against 'Atletico' is one of the most complex things in a footballer's life," - the coach said at a press conference.
"They are a very good and organized results machine, they can achieve the desired result in almost every match if given the opportunity to do so.
People tell me that 'Atletico' is no longer what it used to be, but for them, these are transition years. They still fight well with what they have.
They do not play as badly as people try to say, so their results this season do not matter to our fans in this match.
The team that plays better in both games and shows more dedication and fight will advance to the next stage. It has nothing to do with how one team plays in the Premier League and the other in La Liga championships," - added J. Klopp.
