Klopp keeps Liverpool feet on ground before Porto return

Liverpool are on the brink of a place in the Champions League semi-finals in what could turn out to be a dream season, but Jurgen Klopp warned his team still have a fight on their hands to finish the job in their quarter-final tie against FC Porto.

The Reds travelled to northern Portugal in a strong position going into Wednesday's second leg after a 2-0 win at Anfield last week, when Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino both scored.

Since then, the Premier League leaders have stretched their unbeaten run to 16 games and made it seven wins on the bounce by seeing off Chelsea 2-0 on Sunday.

Little wonder the excitement is building with Klopp's side still tantalisingly in with the chance of doing the double of Premier League and Champions League, the kind of success not enjoyed at Anfield since the early 1980s.

However, there was no hint of complacency from the Liverpool manager as he spoke at the Estadio do Dragao on Tuesday.

"It is so far a very positive season, that is why we are here, but we are not here to celebrate our situation," he said.

"We are here to go to the next round, because the season is not finished. We have to fight really hard.

"Porto won all their home games so far. The atmosphere in the stadium will be more Porto-dominated, that's clear -- they will try to have a kickstart in the game, so that is what I am thinking about and not about how good our season was until now."

"They've got a great European history and are used to winning trophies. There is going to be a special atmosphere so it is important how we start the game and that we nullify that."
