Why Klopp's Liverpool won't 'pull a PSG' against Manchester City

Jurgen Klopp's side are built to attack and they should not rein in their natural instincts at the Etihad on Tuesday

Before the first leg of Liverpool’s Champions League quarter-final with Manchester City last week, Jurgen Klopp was asked if his side would rein in their attacking instincts, given the size of the occasion and the quality of the opposition.

His answer was emphatic.

“Sitting back is not a solution against City,” he warned. “It would make no sense.”

Liverpool, he promised, would play on the front foot. They would be brave, go at City from the first whistle.
