'This is one of the best teams I have seen in my life': Michael Owen on why he is backing 'world class' Liverpool to see off Inter Milan in the Champions League, his hopes for Harvey Elliott and the agony of missing out on Europe's grand prize

But former Reds star Michael Owen thinks their place in the quarter-finals of the competition is more or less a formality - believing the 'experienced' Merseysiders will prove too much for the Serie A giants at Anfield.

While Klopp insists he is taking nothing for granted, Owen is backing Liverpool to avoid a banana skin when Inter come to town, saying the tie is 'close to being over'.
