Liverpool boss Klopp feels that Atletico facing Liverpool is quite a huge deal and something tells him Diego Simeone isn’t too happy with the reds.
Klopp anticipated Madrid return, which a test fixture was in the process of being tested by the brute forces of a last-16 draw which had clubs from the top 5 leagues of Europe.
“It’s an interesting draw,” Klopp told his club’s official website. “Before the draw, I actually thought it would be Madrid – either one of the two clubs – and that’s the way it is.
“Madrid is the place where we only have fantastic memories, all of us, so that’s great, but this time we play Atlético there and it’s their home ground.
“It’s a tough one, but if you go through all of the draws, there are pretty much four or five potential finals already in the last 16.
“So, really, really good; a good draw, a difficult game like it should be, but I don’t think Mr Simeone is running through his living room and is happy that he got Liverpool.
“It will be a tough game. Two teams who are used to playing intense football. Different styles and slightly different organisation, of course, but both are ready for intensity and that makes it pretty tough for both.”
