Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits they'll have a big target on their back being European champions.

The Reds kickoff the Premier League season against Norwich City tonight.

Asked if they're a bigger target now, Klopp says: "You have to ask them. Life is a challenge, constantly. I will congratulate Dani Farke on the achievement of last season and he will do the same I'm sure.

Since I am in, when teams are facing Liverpool it always looks like a very special game. Will it be more? I don't know. But we have a big influence on the story of the game, and we should write our part in the right way.

It's not about playing the best football in history, it's about playing the best you are able to play in the moment. Even as a team who won the Champions League last year, we have to stay the team who nobody wants to play against, not only because of the name and the history, but because of the intensity we put into the game. That's what I will ask the boys for tomorrow night."
