Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius says no-one inside the locker room are taking Champions League opponents Roma lightly.

Karius says tonight's semifinal first-leg will be the biggest game of his career.

He said: “Yes. I think most of the team haven't played a semi-final yet so for all of us it's a really important game.

“It is normal to be a bit nervous - I think that helps bring the best out of you. We look forward to it.

“Roma played well through the whole competition otherwise they wouldn't be in the semi-final and they had to beat a big team to get there.

“They will be a tough opponent I'm sure. It will not be an easy task at all, it will be very difficult.

“In two games anything can happen so we need to be switched on from the beginning to the very end.

“We have the home game first so we have to put the result in that will help a lot. You could see what they were able to do at home."
