Klopp ready for emotional Barcelona clash: Suarez, Coutinho Liverpool legends

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp knows there'll be a lot of emotion facing Barcelona in their Champions League semifinal.

Liverpool will come up against former Anfield favourites Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho in the tie.

Both are likely to feature in the two legs, fitness permitting, and Jurgen Klopp was asked about the proposition of taking on two former Liverpool stars.

"Honestly, the only thing I am thinking about is Cardiff on Sunday," the Reds boss said.

"For these two boys, it is very special, because they are Liverpool legends.

"But I don't think it will be a friendly game, we have to fight and work and they will do that as well.

"It is a wonderful game, Liverpool vs Barcelona in the semi-finals. Now let's try to do the best there and we will see what happens."
