UCL: Inter Milan Will Be Difficult Game For Liverpool – Klopp

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has welcomed their Champions League round 16 draw with Inter Milan.

Liverpool had been paired with RB Salzburg in the originally draw, which was scrapped, while Inter were to meet Villarreal.

“I had to wait 54 years to play at the San Siro for the first time… and now it’ll be twice in three months, so that’s good news! All good,” Klopp told Liverpool’s official website. “Of course, it is a tough draw, definitely.

“They are the league leaders in Italy; a good team in a good moment. We will see how things go until we meet in February.

“Simone Inzaghi is there, his first year, last year they were champions, but it is the Liverpool way – it’s never easy, but still possible, so let’s give it a go.

“It’s a proper Champions League tie, so all good and I am absolutely looking forward to it.”

Klopp also says he supported the decision to hold the draw again after the original technical errors.

“Definitely. I saw it live and I thought, ‘You cannot let it stand like this, there’s no chance’,” he continued. “Definitely, they had to do it again.”
