Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool: "We won the first match and did it effectively. We have too much respect for Porto and the tournament as a whole, in order to even think about letting go of the doubles. We need to focus on the match, we want to win the second part of the confrontation. At the moment in the championship is the phase when you need to constantly give results.
