Liverpool take on defending NextGen champs Inter Milan today.
Last season, Rodolfo Borrell's men lost in the semi-finals to Ajax but came third after beating Marseille in the play-off.
He told liverpoolfc.com: "It is going to be difficult because we are in a very tough group and it's a tough first game for us against Inter Milan.
"They won the NextGen Series last season and they are a very tough and physical team so it's going to be a big test for us."
