Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool will not feel burdened with the title of reigning Champions League winners.
The Reds start off their defence of last season's win by facing Napoli in Italy.
"We don't feel the burden because I don't know exactly how that should feel to be honest," said the German.
"It's long ago. Three or four months. The question keeps coming up about whether teams will play differently against us. I have no clue to be honest.
"I never went into a Champions League season, winning the Champions League the year before, so we will experience that [together for the first time]. I hope we are prepared for that."
