Benfica’s Champions League match, on Tuesday, did not leave any marks on the team and Liverpool will provide all the players available to duel with Manchester City, on Sunday.
“Everyone is available,” Jurgen Klopp confirmed, warning that the fact that he played in the middle of the week cannot be an excuse: “We will be ready. As City played on Tuesday [contra o Atlético Madrid]enough to recover. Everything is ready, let’s do it.”
Asked if Liverpool’s good performance away from home could help in a visit to Etihad: “It is important to maintain the same mentality, but no other match can be compared to this match against City. They have no weaknesses, they are good at everything.”
The merit of coach Pep Guardiola: “He is the best coach in the world and we all agree on this point. I have no idea how anyone could doubt that.”
On whether this is the deciding game in the title’s calculations: “We can only analyze this by looking at the possible outcomes. If we win we are two points ahead. Does anyone think that everything will be decided? If we lose, we are four points behind, and if we draw, we are one point behind. It’s a very important match, and even if we are 15 points away from City, it will be a good match.”
