Speaking of opponents to be faced, Valverde highlighted the quality of Juergen Klopp's children's play. He explained that the Red was one of the strongest teams with fast tempo games and had extraordinary attacks
"Liverpool only lost one league game. It was one of their greatness. But we played at home and our intention was to win. But we knew that we had to play two good matches because Liverpool had a strong explosion that could flood you completely in 15 minutes, and sometimes it works, "Valverde explained.
"We will try to find answers to their games. We also have to know how to deal with the suffocating pressure they apply," concluded Valverde.
