Lovren confident Liverpool can overcome 'crazy atmosphere'

Dejan Lovren is confident Liverpool can advance to the Champions League final, despite the 'crazy atmosphere they'll face at the Stadio Olimpico next week.

The Reds gave themselves every opportunity to do so by beating Roma 5-2 in the first leg at Anfield on Tuesday night.

The travelling Merseysiders can expect a rapturous home crowd in the Italian capital, but Lovren believes his teammates won't be fazed by the noise.

"I am still confident that we can score there," said the centre-back.

"We had so many chances, they are really open, they are a team that likes to play and that is good for us.

"They now need to score. It will be a crazy atmosphere but we played in one similar at Man City and we know what we need to do if we score quite early I think it will be a quite different.

"I am really quite confident we will have chances again like today. With our attack, how we did it, pfffff, I am not even worried."
