Bayern Munich attacker James Rodriguez says he's ready for Champions League opponents Liverpool.

James, on-loan from Real Madrid, was impressive for Bayern's win over Schalke on the weekend.

"I think I had a good game," he told BILD.

"I really want Liverpool! You must not make mistakes in these games. I think we can make problems for Liverpool. We have a good team that can move on if it does well."

James added: "Step by step, I feel better. I was gone for almost three months. Game by game, I am now gaining quality. But I can do more."
