Atletico Madrid Will Be A Difficult Opponent – Klopp

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to say he agrees that his team got a tough draw vs Atletico Madrid for the UCL last 16.

According to him, it is an interesting draw but Diego Simone would also be disappointed to meet the EPL league leaders.

Klopp believes it will be a difficult game because the two teams play intense football, different styles and different organizations.

His words, “It’s an interesting draw,”

“Before the draw, I actually thought it would be Madrid – either one of the two clubs – and that’s the way it is.

“Madrid is the place where we only have fantastic memories, all of us, so that’s great, but this time we play Atletico there and it’s their home ground.

“It’s a tough one, but if you go through all of the draws, there are pretty much four or five potential finals already in the last 16.

“So, really, really good; a good draw, a difficult game like it should be, but I don’t think Mr Simeone is running through his living room and is happy that he got Liverpool.

“It will be a tough game. Two teams who are used to playing intense football. Different styles and slightly different organisation, of course, but both are ready for intensity and that makes it pretty tough for both.”

“I think I said last time that it is somehow the strongest ever last 16 or last eight, but it looks like it becomes stronger and stronger every year.”
