Klopp rubbishes thoughts of 'easy' Roma draw for Liverpool in Champions League semi-finals

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has rubbished suggestions his side have been given an easy semi-final tie against Roma.

The Reds will meet Eusebio Di Francesco's men in the last four, with Bayern Munich taking on holders Real Madrid in the other match-up.

Roma produced a stunning second-leg performance to knock Barcelona out at the quarter-final stage, but they were largely regarded as the preferable opponent heading into Friday's draw in Nyon.

Klopp, however, does not think anyone who watched the matches against the Catalans could consider Liverpool to be fortunate.

"It was not that I thought 'thank God not Bayern, thank God not Real Madrid, yippee Roma' or the other way around," he told the club's official website.
