Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has warned his side against complacency ahead of their Champions League tie with FC Porto on Tuesday, as per a report from the Telegraph.
The Reds head into the second leg of their round of 16 tie with a 5-0 advantage following what was a rampant display in Portugal.
Klopp has insisted that the outcome was something of a freak result, though, and has warned his side that Porto will be out to prove a point when they arrive at Anfield tomorrow evening.
We were really strong that night and especially very effective: six shots on target and five were in. Porto had shots on target and two of them they missed the goal only by a few inches and that is how a result like this can happen.
If we didn’t score from every chance – which is normal in a football game – and we scored only three times and Porto used their big two chances then it would be 3-2.
Liverpool will book their place in the quarter finals of the Champions League tomorrow night if they are able to carry out a professional job against Porto, which is sure to come as a boost for Klopp and his men.
If I was in a similar situation I would want to see a real reaction from my team.
The Reds are in an exceptional spell of form and will head into the clash against Porto full of confidence. They currently sit in second place on the Premier League table and will be desperate to match their league form with European progress.
