James Milner sees Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup tie as a significant opportunity for Liverpool.
The European champions will take on Chelsea in Istanbul this week in the annual fixture between the holders of the Champions League and Europa League trophies.
And Reds vice-captain Milner believes victory at Besiktas Park would represent another step forward in the ongoing development of Jürgen Klopp’s side, who got their Premier League season up and running with a comprehensive 4-1 win over Norwich City last Friday.
“I think [it’s] very important - I think you want to get in[to] that habit of winning trophies,” the midfielder told UEFA.
