Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits they have to put in a stellar display to beat Villarreal in the Champions League.
The Reds take on the Yellow Submarines in the first-leg of their Champions League semi-final tie on Wednesday.
Klopp was asked if they need to play as well as they did to beat Barcelona in the competition in 2019.
He stated, per the club's website: "Yes, we need the atmosphere, we need the performance, but we need a different performance as well because it is a completely different game.
"Barcelona were, that night, set up completely different to what Villarreal are doing. But, yes, we need a big game, we need to be on top of our game. I need to be on top of my game – and before and during the game, the boys as well.
"That's completely fine, completely fine, because a semi-final in the Champions League, if that would be easy then something would be really completely wrong. That is why I can't wait, honestly. Even in this hectic schedule, playing all the time, in a week with City, United and Everton, but if you need a next game to be 1,000 per cent in then bring on Villarreal in the Champions League."
