Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool will have to be "exceptional" to overcome Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
The Reds will face Bayern at the Allianz on Wednesday with the tie evenly poised at 0-0.
"It's not for me to judge what they do, or did," Klopp told the club's website when asked if he expects a different approach from Bayern in Germany to the first leg.
"They are in a different moment now obviously, it's a much more positive moment for Bayern – top of the table again, winning games comfortably again and all that stuff – so they are really back on track… if they ever left the track. I like that, not because I think it's easier, just because it shows you in the analysis how strong they are.
"We are strong enough to give them a proper game and that's the only thing you can expect in a situation like that, in a good situation. That's what I'm thinking about: how can we cause them problems they have never had in the season so far against other opponents?
"They have, of course, really strong opponents but if we are at our best we can be exceptional. But we have to be, actually – if we play a normal game there we have no chance and then we should go out.
"But if we can push ourselves in a special mood and play a proper football game, then we have a proper chance and that's all I need."
