Liverpool boss Klopp: Tougher in Germany with Ribery, Robben

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits their clash at Bayern Munich could be tougher than last night's draw.

The Reds and Bayern drew 0-0 at Anfield for the first-leg of their Champions League round 16.

Klopp said, "They don't have problems. We will see who is fit that night; for us that's important and for them important. Bayern had a couple of problems tonight, Goretzka I am pretty sure will play in that game and then maybe Arjen Robben is fit, so that can make a big difference with his experience.

"Maybe Ribery starts. There are a lot of things that can change, but we will get a player back at least [Virgil van Dijk] and we can play better than we did tonight. This game is not decided. I don't think there is any weak team – and for sure no team who are at home are weak. Bayern are not.

"It's not decided. What we wanted tonight was to get a result that we can work with – and we can work with that result. As I said, it's not decided and we still feel like we are properly in the competition, but we have to show that in three weeks."
