Klopp confident Liverpool will avoid Barcelona repeat against Roma

The Reds boss is under no illusion as to the danger posed in the second leg of a Champions League semi-final, with his side requiring no warning

Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool will not be caught out by the same Roma ambush that conquered Barcelona in the Champions League as he braces for a difficult semi-final second leg.

The Reds take a commanding 5-2 lead to Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday and are the overwhelming favourites to advance to the final.

But, having seen Barcelona crash out at the same venue in the quarter-finals, Klopp is well aware of what can happen if his team fail to start with the intensity that saw them dominate at Anfield.
