Jurgen Klopp: We can compete with the elite of Europe

Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool can compete with Europe’s best even if no-one is giving his side much of a chance in the Champions League.

Tonight’s last-16 first leg tie in Porto is the Reds’ first in the knockout stage of Europe’s elite club competition since 2009.

But despite having comfortably won their group with three wins and three draws, scoring 23 goals — a record for an English club — doubts persist about their ability to go deep into the competition.
