Liverpool are the team nobody will want to face in the Champions League draw, according to Andy Robertson.
The Reds secured a place in the last-16 on Tuesday night, following a 2-0 win away to Salzburg.
They are looking to win back-to-back European Cups for the first time since 1978, which would be an extraordinary achievement.
Liverpool will find out who their opponents are in the next round on Monday (11am GMT) – it will either be Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Lyon or Atalanta.
Robertson believes his side will want to be avoided at all costs, having previously been underestimated by some:
A team which has been to the final twice and we are respected in this tournament.
Maybe the first season when we went to the final, I don’t think we were really respected until after we went to Porto and washed them away.
We did not get the respect we deserved. Now, we know we are respected in Europe.
No one will want us but everyone who gets into the last 16 will fancy themselves.

There is no reason why Liverpool can’t clinch another Champions League title this season – on current form, they are the best team in Europe.
Robertson is absolutely right in saying the Reds will be feared by everyone and that will apply in the latter rounds, too, should they progress from the last-16.
Atletico Madrid are probably the most dangerous threat to Liverpool, but Klopp and his players will happily take on anybody.
