Dejan Lovren says Liverpool being written off in their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona has made him "angry and hungry".

The Reds face a difficult task to overcome a 3-0 deficit from the first leg at the Nou Camp.

"It makes me more angry. Angry and hungry to show them we are capable of doing something special at Anfield," Lovren told Press Association Sport ahead of Tuesday's second leg at Anfield.

"We have big players, and big players should show in big games, and I think this is one of those games on Tuesday, so I expect one of the biggest games at Anfield.

"This is why we are Liverpool. This is why we are a unique club.

"It doesn't look like it from the result at the moment, because they are 3-0 up, but football is unpredictable - especially in the Champions League at Anfield."
