Liverpool boss Klopp: No pressure to lift Club World Cup

Jurgen Klopp insists their is no pressure on Liverpool to win the Club World Cup.

The Reds enter the tournament at the semi-final stage and face a second-round winner on December 18 in Qatar.

"I'm not someone who has to be the first on the moon or the first winning the World Cup with Liverpool, but when we're there we'll try with all we have," Klopp told the FIFA website.

"So far, I don't feel any pressure. I see it as an absolute opportunity... the interesting and difficult part is that we'll be playing against teams from other continents, which doesn't happen that often... it'll be a tough one for sure."
