The Spanish boss will clash with Klopp tonight.

But before that, Simeone has praised the German’s work.

The Champions League finally returns last on Tuesday, and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp will go head-to-head with Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone in Spain. The Spanish coach expects a huge challenge from a Liverpool team he regards on a historic plane.

“We are facing a magnificent team, really well-trained by a coach who is different and has different alternatives in his team,” he said, via The Independent.

“We have always spoken about great teams throughout time and I have no doubt this Liverpool is going to go down in history as a great team because it is different to teams that we have admired. This team is much more intense, more adaptable, and it makes me admire it as a rival.”

Under Klopp, Liverpool have set new standards this season, following up last year’s European success by running away with the Premier League and winning the Club World Cup.
