Summary

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and captain Jordan Henderson have just sat down in front of the world's media to preview Tuesday night's massive Champions League last-16 first-leg showdown at home to Bayern Munich.Klopp was first in front of the press pack and he gave an update on the fitness of Dejan Lovren and Xherdan Shaqiri and how Fabinho will cope if the midfielder is forced to play as an emergency centre-back.The Reds boss also explained why he believes Bayern are more dangerous than ever despite seeing their vice-like grip on the Bundesliga begin to lessen.Klopp also addressed the notion that his side have a double advantage over Munich, his reunion with Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels, and, like Henderson, gave his opinion on what matters more - winning the Premier League or the Champions League.The Liverpool skipper went on to talk his own fitness, the form of his midfield partner Naby Keita, the trip to Marbella, the absence of Virgil van Dijk, and how he would feel if he, instead of Fabinho, was called on to fill the boots of the Dutchman.Enjoy - and we'll be back later with the Blood Red podcast.
