Rodgers insists Liverpool not intimidated going to Real Madrid

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers insists they won't be intimidated going to Real Madrid this week.

The Reds meet Real in Spain on the back of defeat to Newcastle United yesterday.

Rodgers said: "It's a wonderful game for us against the best team in the world at the moment. We will go into the game hoping to get something out of it.

"There is pressure in every game at Liverpool, not just Tuesday. There is always that expectation, it's there every time we play. We understand that and accept it. It is part of being involved as players, coaches and manager at Liverpool."
