Bayern Munich sports director Hasan Salihamidzic says their clash with Liverpool should've been held further into the Champions League.

Bayern are at Anfield tonight for the first-leg of their round 16 tie.

Salihamidzic said: "We know what to expect in a beautiful stadium with a great atmosphere, but we will be ready.

"A very high level of play, for me it's like a semi-final, our goal is to score, of course (Kingsley) Coman's conditions are a bit better, we still have a few hours to decide, let's see."
