And Klopp has insisted that his Liverpool FC team are geared up for battle as they look to battle back from two goals down and book their spot in the semi-finals.

Speaking after the victory over Aston Villa on Saturday, Klopp said: “Whatever we can do, we will take.

“We need a perfect performance on Wednesday just for a chance.

“We can play better than Tuesday, Real Madrid don’t come here and think they are through. We will give it a proper try. This today helps, of course.

“We have to work really hard. We did that today against a strong opponent and got a very important points and whatever it has given us for Wednesday, we will use.”
