Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has revealed how his side will look to beat Liverpool in their Champions League last-16 tie next year, TEAMtalk reports.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side beat Napoli last week in their final group stage match to progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
However, after only finishing second in Group C they were drawn a tough tie against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on Monday.
Despite admitting that it will be a tough tie, Bayern stopper Neuer believes that Liverpool are still vulnerable defensively.
The Germany keeper spoke to Bayern’s official website:
They’re having a very good season and we know they were in the Champions League final last year. They certainly won’t be delighted with the draw, either.
They can counter quickly and they’re dangerous in front of goal, but they’re also vulnerable, as we’ve seen, and they’ll be up against a good Bayern attack.
It’ll be a great game both at Liverpool and also at home at the Allianz Arena.
Neuer’s Bayern team-mate Arjen Robben also believes it will be a tough fight, adding:
It’s an epic match. Liverpool are a super team who have gone through a great development.
They have big players, a lot of pace and creativity in attack and they’re a real unit. The atmosphere will be phenomenal.
It’s just a great draw. It’s a dream for every player to be involved in a game like this.
