Liverpool head coach Juergen Klopp believes Paris Saint-Germain to be one of the favorites for the victory in the Champions League 2018/19.

"PSG - one of the favorites. We know what class this team has. We play at Anfield, and it can give us an edge, "Klopp said..

"We perfectly understand what a strong team they have, but we are going to play to win and get the upper hand. There is nothing more to say here. We play at Anfield, and this can be a serious advantage. Let's try to use it ".

"Thomas Tuhel is an excellent coach. I think PSG did it smart when he signed a contract with him. When a team has many individually strong players, you need a coach who could teach them team play. He is in this case one of the best specialists I know. This makes our task even more difficult ".

"This is football.

He always provides an opportunity to pull himself up to the opponent, so that you can then beat him. This is exactly what we should try to do. You can not just defend yourself or just attack. You need to balance. I was lucky - I coached teams that had the right balance between skill and psychology ".

The match of the first round of the group stage of the Champions League between Liverpool and PSG will be held on Tuesday, September 18th. Beginning of the meeting at 22:00 Kyiv time.
