Besiktas coach Bilic: No talk of Liverpool revenge

Besiktas coach Slaven Bilic insists there's been no talk of revenge facing Liverpool tonight in the Europa League.

The Turkish Super Lig leaders arrive at Anfield looking to make up for their 8-0 Champions League hammering on the ground in 2007.

But Bilic says: "Revenge is not a word which should be used in football or sport,' he said.

"What happened was written in the records but even then, and this is where football is magnificent, a couple of weeks before that Besiktas beat Liverpool 2-1 in Istanbul.

"That is in the past. Most of our players were kids then so there is no pressure whatsoever."
