“Definitely they had to do it again” – Liverpool Boss reacts to Champions League redraw

Liverpool Fc boss Jurgen Klopp shared his immediate thoughts with the media, Shortly after Liverpool’s Champions League opponents were confirmed for the second time after a redraw.

Klopp talked about facing Inter Milan in the last 16 of the Champions League on Liverpool’s website, relishing the upcoming trip to San Siro:

“I had to wait 54 years to play at the San Siro for the first time and now it’ll be twice in three months, so that’s good news!”

However, the reds were set to face Salzburg in the earlier draw, before UEFA admitted the debacle to a software error. Jurgen Klopp openly agreed with the decision to start over, stating:

“Definitely. I saw [the first draw] live and I thought, ‘You cannot let it stand like this, there’s no chance.’ Definitely, they had to do it again.”

“Of course, it is a tough draw, definitely. They are the league leaders in Italy; a good team in a good moment. It is the Liverpool way – it’s never easy, but still possible, so let’s give it a go. It’s a proper Champions League tie, so all good and I am absolutely looking forward to it.”
