Liverpool defender Nat Phillips is up for their Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.
Phillips, who made his Champions League debut in the last round as the Reds eliminated RB Leipzig, knows a formidable opponent stands in their way to the semi-finals.
“They certainly are [an iconic club]," he told UEFA. “And that shows in what they've achieved as a club, the trophies they've won and the level they've maintained for years and years, and the players that have represented them as well.
“But when you're coming up against them as opposition, you don't look at that. At the same time, Liverpool are on the same level in terms of what they've achieved as a club. So, when you're going into a game like that you've got to treat it like just another game.
“Obviously you're going to be coming up against top players and better players but, in my opinion, you've got to treat every game like you're going to be coming up against the best opposition you've ever faced so that you're on your best game, and it'll be no different in that game."
