Liverpool have been warned by club legend Phil Thompson that Roma pose a different kind of threat in Champions League competition to that which would have been faced against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
The Reds are set to be reunited with a side they pipped to European glory back in 1984 at the semi-final stage of this season’s continental campaign.
Jurgen Klopp was quick to play down any suggestion after the last four draw that his side had got off lightly by avoiding the heavyweight duo of Real and Bayern, with Roma having showcased their credentials with a thrilling quarter-final comeback against La Liga giants Barcelona.
