Summary

Jurgen Klopp was in front of the media at the Estadio do Dragao.last night to preview Wednesday's huge Champions League quarter-final second leg against Porto. The manager of the Portuguese champions showered Liverpool with praise in his press conference and Klopp's starts his with a response to Sergio Conceicao's pre-match claim. The Reds boss is also asked about inter-squad rivalry and, bizarrely, who is favourite Brazilian player is (we think). Klopp goes on to answer two cracking questions from our own James Pearce, including some really positive news about Joe Gomez. But another journalist risks the German's wrath by asking which competition - the Premier League or the Champions League - he would like to win the most. Luckily, Klopp's mood was lifted by a question from The Anfield Wrap. Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
