Jurgen Klopp reacts to Liverpool’s Champions League draw

Jurgen Klopp has given his reaction to Liverpool’s Champions League group stage draw, saying the quality opponent is always to be expected.
The Reds will face French champions PSG, Italian side Napoli, and Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade in Group C.
Being seeded in pot three, there was always a very strong likelihood that Liverpool would face a tough group, and so it has proven – with the group looking more difficult than the one they faced last season.
But after blitzing the likes of Man City and Roma on the way to the final last season, Klopp’s side will fear nobody and the rest will fear them.
Said Klopp in reaction to the draw:
“To be 100 per cent honest, it was not that I had a group I wished for or whatever. I expected a difficult group, we have a difficult group and that’s what the
Champions League is all about.
“PSG are one of the most exciting teams in the world and I think their target is to win the Champions League , so that will be two interesting matches.
“Napoli, we beat them in pre-season but it goes without saying these two games will be completely a different challenge.
“I’ve been to Napoli with Dortmund, so I know what the atmosphere is like there. In fact, it’s where I got a suspension [for being sent off]. I can do better, obviously!
“Red Star, I watched them last night. They came through and it will be, again, a very, very intense atmosphere I am sure.
“But that’s how it is, it’s the group and I am fine with that. Now let’s go.”
The Reds have only faced each side once before, each across two legs; PSG in 1997, Napoli in 2010, and Red Star in 1973.

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger.

Klopp gesticulated and pointed wildly, though did shake hands with Shaqiri – who was listening to his manager intently – to
