Europe ‘diversion’ for PSV

PSV EINDHOVEN coach Ronald Koeman has urged his players to forget their poor domestic form and enjoy their European adventure as they prepare to meet Liverpool in the Champions League.

The Dutch title-holders have struggled of late in the Eredivisie and are without a win in three, including a 5-1 defeat to Ajax two weeks ago which allowed their great rivals to close the gap to just three points at the top of the table.

Koeman admits he will welcome tonight’s distraction from domestic troubles.
