Jurgen Klopp was asked to address the similarity of his current Liverpool campaign with his final season in charge at Borussia Dortmund.
“Of course, some things can be compared because injuries also led to things in Dortmund as well, and here as well,” Klopp told his pre-match press conference. “But it’s different, though. I think with Dortmund we were 17th or even 18th in the league, which was horrible of course.
“The situation was still completely different there than it is here. I think it’s more challenging here now, but I just don’t want to look back now – only when people ask me. The situation we’re in at the moment, we’re trying to come out of it.
“To be honest with you, we didn’t have the performances we needed but we’re going to play in the Champions League. We never had momentum in the Premier League season but we have the momentum in the Champions League now. We managed to qualify from the group stages and we played very well against Leipzig.
“Of course, they have very different momentum. We know that. They won four matches on the trot, I believe. So the statistics are a bit different. But the good thing about football is that the previous results don’t really have any impact on the next match. And if it’s a different tournament, even less so. So, we look forward to the challenge tomorrow.”
