Jurgen Klopp thinks Liverpool have drawn a 'really strong group' in the Champions League.

The Reds will face Ajax, Atalanta and FC Midtjylland in the group stage.

"I didn't really think about travelling to be honest, but yeah, Italy, Holland and Denmark are maybe not the furthest [away]," Klopp said after the draw.

"That's ok but we don't think about the miles we make in the Champions League, we think about the games we play and I think it's a really strong group.

"Everybody knows how good Ajax was two years ago and they will always build a proper new squad and a proper team. Midtjylland is for different reasons...one of the most interesting teams because they have quite a specific way.

"These are the few pieces of information I have without knowing that we will face them, and Atalanta is obviously a really exciting project since a couple of years. They play pretty good stuff as well so for me it looks like it's a proper football group.

"All teams try to play real football, all the teams run a lot, so the games will be intense and that we only fly one-and-a-half or two hours instead of four-and-a-half or five, yeah that's good but we would have played in Moscow or Greece as well, no doubt about that."
