Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they'll take seriously their Champions League encounter with Porto.

Liverpool have already won their group and Klopp was asked how difficult it is to prepare for a game like this:

"It's not difficult, the difference is when you sign a contract for LFC (Liverpool Football Club) as a manager and as a player you have to win all games, each game you play everyone expects that.

"So that means there is a lot of pressure on your shoulders, that's a little difference that we don't have to win the game tomorrow but we want to win the game.

"That's how it looks and I really hope it gives us the freedom to play but keeps the desire to defend.

"In our Champions League history since I've been here we usually fight until the last second of the last game of the group stage to get somehow through this year it's different but that's the only difference.

"Actually it's not in my mind really but I know the difference, it's just we will try to win the football game tomorrow night."

He also said, "We know that our opponent will be motivated on the highest level for two main reasons. One we won there in a way that they didn't like for sure and on the other hand if they win they have the final game of the group against Atletico Madrid, so that's what they want.

"It'll be a difficult game for us and I hope that everyone at Anfield will be at their best because it's the Champions League and you and never take these things for granted, I hope nobody is doing that, all together we have to be ready for the fight out there and I'm positive we can do that."
