Liverpool can go all the way and win the Champions League this season, according to their former defender John Arne Riise.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ Goals on Sunday, Riise has backed his former side to see off Manchester City on Tuesday night.
The former defender was speaking from experience. He was part of the Liverpool side that famously won the competition under Rafa Benitez in 2005 against AC Milan.
This year, although it’s going to be very tight, they have a good chance of going all the way. You have the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid and Bayern still there, and they have to go through against City.
Riise believes that the first leg against City is a prime example of how dangerous Liverpool can be in the competition.
There’s some great teams left but if they play like they did at Anfield on Wednesday there’s not many teams who could stop them.
The Reds have put themselves in a great position to secure a place in the semi-finals of the competition after a 3-0 victory against Manchester City at Anfield.
The two sides meet at the Etihad on Tuesday night with a place in the last four at stake.
Manchester City will need to score at least four in the hope of progressing against a Liverpool side that will be full of confidence after their first performance.
