Jurgen Klopp said he feels like "Kindergarten Cop" in comparison to the raging Diego Simeone but it will be Liverpool looking to make it a case of men against boys when they face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
"People say I am emotional but if I am level four, he is level 12. I am Kindergarten Cop compared to him," Klopp told reporters in Madrid.
"He has been there eight years and to still have that emotional level, that's impressive."
"What they have done so far this season was not as bad as people say and it has nothing to do with our chances tomorrow. The team that fights more will go through, not the team that has done better in La Liga or the Premier League."
- Pressure on -
===============
"If we want to be known as one of the best teams in the world we have to be getting to those latter stages. We believe we can do it."
"They are a team with lots of options and I like that a lot."
