Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho is excited by the return of Champions League football to Anfield.
Coutinho can feel the tingle of excitement ahead of Tuesday night's game with Bulgarian side Ludogorets, with glamour ties against Real Madrid and Basle to come.
"I've heard all about the experience of playing at Anfield in the Champions League - I can' t wait for it to happen," he says.
"When we come out with the floodlights turned on, it will be more like appearing at a show or a concert than a football match. The atmosphere at our stadium was fantastic last year when the fans would gather to wait for our team bus to arrive, and this will be different, and maybe even better.
"I know about Liverpool's tradition in the competition, so hopes will be high. But considering Liverpool as one of the favourites for the Champions League before we kick a ball is something for the fans, not for the team.
"I believe that we have a strong squad, new players have been brought in and we are in a good position to perform well in the Champions League, but without calling ourselves favourites or anything like that."
