Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp said his side had not 'gone nuts' after winning the Champions League and were ready for their title defence starting with a Group E opener in Napoli on Tuesday.
"To win is nice, but it doesn't change anything," Klopp told reporters in Naples.
"It's so easy to carry on as normal.
"If you go nuts and start taking drugs and buying different cars or whatever and leave you missus at home, than it gets hard.
"We want to create more stories to remember in the future and not just this one.
"We don't feel the burden, it's long ago... three, four months."
Liverpool have reached the last two Champions League finals, beating Tottenham in the Spanish capital in June after losing to Real Madrid 12 months earlier.
And they are riding high in the Premier League with five wins in as many games.
The 52-year-old German said they were more interested in learning from last year's errors including losing all their away games starting with a 1-0 defeat in Napoli to a late ...

Tyson Fury claims he is "ready for war" with Deontay Wilder after the British heavyweight survived two severe cuts in his weekend win over Otto Wallin.
Fury needed 47 stitches following the Las Vegas bout, which saw Wallin take his rival to 12 rounds before the Briton eventually secured a unanimous points decision victory.
The 31-year-old former world heavyweight champion was taken to the University Medical Center of South Nevada with a gaping gash over his right eye and another smaller one on the eyelid.
Speaking to BBC Sport before leaving Las Vegas, Fury said: "I went to the hospital, had a few stitches, went home and had an early night.
"Then I've got up, gone to the casino, won five grand, had a few beers and now I'm going to have a few more beers."
Fury fought for more than nine rounds with one of the cuts.
The injury prompted promoter Frank Warren to say a proposed February rematch with WBC world heavyweight champion Wilder could be delayed if Fury does not heal adequately.

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said that Lionel Messi could make his comeback against Borussia Dortmund as the Catalan giants launch a fresh assault on the Champions League title in Germany on Tuesday evening.
Messi, who has missed the beginning of the season with a calf injury, was named in Barcelona's squad for Tuesday's Champions League opener, though it remains unclear whether the Argentinian will play.
"We will decide tomorrow. For the last week we have been unsure whether he will be able to play, but he has trained two or three times and made a good impression. We will see," said Valverde at a press conference on Monday.
The Barcelona coach refused to say whether 16-year-old Ansu Fati, who became the club's youngest ever goalscorer earlier this month, would break another record by becoming the youngest ever Champions League debutant on Tuesday.
"If he plays, then it will not be because of the record," said the coach.  Valverde said that his team were looking to put the past ...

Scotland recorded the third-highest stand in international T20 history as George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer put on 200 in their side's 58-run win over Netherlands.
The pair ran riot in Dublin with their double-century partnership before Coetzer was caught out for 89.
Munsey went on to score an unbeaten 127, while Richie Berrington hit 22 as Scotland finished on 252 for three.
Munsey scored at a pace that put him in rarified company.
He hit his maiden century off 41 balls. Three men have scored faster T20I centuries, all off 35 balls. He hit 14 sixes. Only Hazratullah Zazai, who clobbered 16 for Afghanistan against Ireland in February has struck more.
Munsey also struck 32 off one over, only Yuvraj Singh of India who hit six sixes off England's Stuart Broad in 2007 has scored more.
Holland could only manage 194 for seven in response, with Alasdair Evans and Adrian Neill both taking two wickets as Scotland moved to the top of the table in the triangular tournament.

A passenger train derailed during the morning rush hour in Hong Kong on Tuesday leaving three people injured, authorities said.
Images from the scene showed three carriages had left the tracks and were zigzagged across the rails near Hung Hom station in Kowloon -- a busy interchange that provides services to mainland China.
Passengers had to leave the train through a broken door and cross tracks on the East Rail line to make their way to safety.
The cause of the derailment was still under investigation but there was no immediate suggestion of foul play after previous attacks by pro-democracy protesters on the city's mass transit system.
Train services between two stations on the line had been suspended due to the accident, according to the MTR Corporation, the city's only rail company.
Hong Kong is in its fourth month of political unrest, which has seen millions of protesters hit the streets in the biggest challenge to China's rule since the city's handover from Britain in ...

A panel of global civil aviation authorities is expected to criticize the US Federal Aviation Administration's approval of Boeing's 737 MAX, which has been grounded for six months following two crashes, a source familiar with the matter said Monday.
The panel, known as the Joint Authorities Technical Review (JATR), was set up last April by the FAA amid criticism of the FAA'S close ties to Boeing.
The FAA was the last global aviation authority to ground the 737 MAX after one of the aircraft crashed in Ethiopia in March, leaving 157 dead, a few months after another went down in Indonesia, killing 189.
The JATR -- which brings together experts from nine international aviation authorities as well as the FAA and NASA -- was tasked with reviewing the approval procedures for the 737 MAX and make proposals to improve them.
According to the source, the report, which must be submitted in the coming weeks, is critical of the FAA.
In particular, it is expected to take aim at the lack of ...

Oil prices dipped Tuesday but held most of the previous day's record gains following an attack on Saudi facilities that wiped out half the country's output, with traders nervously awaiting the US response after it said Iran was likely to blame.
The crisis revived fears of a conflict in the tinderbox Gulf region and raised questions about the security of crude fields in the world's top exporter as well as other producers.
It has also taken attention away from the upcoming trade talks between China and the US as well as a much-anticipated policy meeting of the Federal Reserve, which is expected to see it cut interest rates.
Trump said he was ready to help Riyadh following the strikes but would await a "definitive" determination on who was responsible.
Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility but Washington and Riyadh have pointed the finger at Tehran, which denies the accusations.

A 10-year-old girl has died in the hospital, her family said in a statement on Monday, after she contracted a rare brain-eating amoeba while swimming in a Texas river.
Lily Mae Avant swam in a river and lake over the Labor Day holiday weekend earlier in September, then suffered a headache and a fever the following weekend.
Her health quickly deteriorated, and she was taken to a local hospital, then transferred to Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth.  Her fight for life attracted support from across the United States and around the world.
The family said in a statement on Facebook that Lily Mae was "in the arms of Jesus." "Words can not begin to express how overwhelming this past week has been for our family," they said.
"We have been flooded by your love and support and feel incredibly humbled by how many lives have been impacted by our sweet and sassy Lily Mae."

Global energy prices spiked Monday by 15% after a weekend attack on key oil facilities in Saudi Arabia caused the worst disruption to world supplies on record.
It was an increase on par with the 1991 Gulf War and analysts said heightened tensions in the Middle East could keep prices elevated for the foreseeable future. The wider economic fallout will depend on just how long the Saudi supply disruption lasts.
Crude was up more than $8 per barrel by midday trading, to about $63, and Brent picked up more than $9 per barrel, to $69.
The attack on the country's largest oil processing plant disrupted more than half of its daily exports, halting 5% of world crude oil output.
It followed a string of other attacks in the Persian Gulf, which threatened global oil supplies and stirred tensions in the region. But the scope of the most recent incident was more severe.
That's especially worrying for oil-thirsty Asia, where China, Japan, South Korea and India are major customers of Saudi oil.

South Korea on Tuesday reported its first cases of African swine fever, becoming the latest country hit by the disease that has killed pigs from China to North Korea, pushing up pork prices worldwide.
Five pigs found dead at a farm in Paju, a city near the inter-Korean border, were confirmed to have been infected with the virus, an official with Seoul's agriculture ministry told AFP.
"At this point, it's too early to confirm if the case stemmed from the North," the official added.
Seoul's agriculture minister Kim Hyun-soo said 3,950 pigs from three farms in Paju were to be culled.
The virus is not harmful to humans but causes haemorrhagic fever in pigs that is almost always fatal.
There is no antidote or vaccine and the only known way to prevent the disease from spreading is a mass cull of affected livestock.
The confirmed cases in the South came around three months after Pyongyang told the World Organisation for Animal Health that dozens of pigs had died from the disease at a farm ...

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro left hospital Monday eight days after another operation on his stomach following his stabbing at an campaign rally last year.
Bolsonaro, 64, is still scheduled to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 24, where Brazil traditionally delivers the first address.
"The President will continue his recovery at home and should follow medical guidelines related to diet and physical activity," said a statement from the Vila Nova Star Hospital in Sao Paulo.
The presidential convoy left the hospital early in the afternoon to fly back to Brasilia, the capital.
Bolsonaro had undergone a five-hour operation on his stomach -- the fourth such procedure. He was forced to delay his original date for returning to work from September 13 until September 18.
His prolonged stay in hospital did not stop him delivering his regular Thursday night live broadcast on Facebook, with a feeding tube still in his nose.

Streaming giant Netflix said Monday it had acquired the global rights to popular American sitcom "Seinfeld" from 2021 -- a feather in its cap as the battle among online video platforms for coveted content heats up.
The company did not reveal the value of the transaction.
But the move was a bit of a rebound for Netflix, which has lost the rights to "Friends" from next year and to the American version of "The Office" from 2021 -- the two most-watched series it has on offer.
The digital broadcast rights to "Seinfeld" have been held by Hulu, a Disney subsidiary, since 2015.
NBCUniversal paid USD 500 million over five years to get "The Office," and WarnerMedia shelled out USD 425 million, also over five years, to acquire "Friends" for its new HBO Max platform.
Classic television series have become a hot commodity in the escalating battle for streaming supremacy.
The current major players like Netflix and Amazon are keeping an eye on Apple and Disney, which will launch later this year, and .

Democratic lawmakers announced Monday that US Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is under investigation, following allegations that she used her position in President Donald Trump's cabinet to benefit her family's shipping company.
The investigation has the potential to graze the upper echelons of Republican power in Washington as Chao is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in Congress.
The chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Elijah Cummings, wrote Chao requesting documents and citing "troubling questions" over whether she used her office for personal gain.
"The Committee is examining your misstatements of fact, your actions that may have benefitted the company in which you continued to hold shares and your compliance with ethics and financial disclosure requirements," wrote Cummings and Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, who chairs the panel's economic and consumer policy subcommittee.
They pointed to reports indicating that Chao, ..

Facebook said Monday it is working to stop advertisers from changing headlines in links to news stories after concerns raised by a British political party's altering of one such link.
The leading social network confirmed the internal effort in the face of concerns over a BBC headline altered in an ad to evidently change the tone of an article about British government spending on education.
"We are working to put safeguards in place by the end of the year to ensure publishers have control over the way their headlines appear in advertisements," Facebook said in response to an AFP inquiry.
The new policy came over complaints that advertisers might be able to deceptively modify the content in news stories shared on the huge social network.
A recent Conservative Party Facebook ad "seems to have altered the headline of a BBC News article on an education spending announcement to make the government appear more generous than it is being," British fact-checking charity organization Full Fact ..

US President Donald Trump said Monday that it is "probably not" the right time for him to visit North Korea but he could see doing so sometime in the future.
"I don't think we're ready for that," Trump told reporters when asked about visiting Pyongyang for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. "I think we have a ways to go yet.
"The relationship is very good," Trump added, but the time was not right for a visit to Pyongyang.
"I would do it at sometime, at sometime in a later future," he said.
"And depending on what happens, I'm sure he'll love coming to the United States also."
Kim asked Trump to visit Pyongyang in a letter sent last month, South Korea's JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported Monday, repeating an invitation issued at their last meeting in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas.
North Korea the same day demanded the United States provide security guarantees as a precondition to resuming deadlocked nuclear talks, dampening hopes for progress at a ...

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Monday that France will press to drop Sudan from the US blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism and to support efforts to reintegrate the country into the international community.
Le Drian was in Khartoum for a one-day visit, the first such trip to Sudan by France's top diplomat in more than a decade.
His visit comes as the northeast African country transitions to civilian rule after decades of authoritarianism.
"We will use our influence to ensure that Sudan is removed from this list," Le Drian said at a joint press conference with his Sudanese counterpart Asma Mohamed Abdalla after the two held talks.
"It is the way to ensure that we can consider a new relationship (for Sudan) with financial institutions, everything is obviously linked," he said, asked by AFP if France would back efforts to remove Sudan from Washington's blacklist.
Decades of US blacklisting along with a trade embargo imposed on Sudan in 1997 has kept overseas ...

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said Monday he was "extremely concerned" about escalating tensions following strikes on Saudi oil facilities at the weekend, accusing Iran of destabilising the region.
Speaking to AFP in Baghdad, Stoltenberg's comments were his first on the strikes on two major Saudi oil facilities, which were claimed by Yemen's Huthi rebels but which both Washington and Riyadh have blamed on Tehran.
"We call on all parties to prevent any such attacks occurring again because that can have negative consequences for the whole region, and we are also extremely concerned about a risk of escalation," the secretary general said.
Stoltenberg, who said the alliance "strongly condemned" the attacks because of the destabilising effect on oil supplies, also had a message for Iraq's neighbour, Iran.
"We are concerned about what we see, especially from Iran. Iran is supporting different terrorist groups and being responsible for destabilising the whole region," he charged.

Purdue Pharma has filed for bankruptcy in a settlement aimed at preventing further legal action concerning painkiller OxyContin, blamed for plunging millions into addiction and fueling the US opioid crisis.
The proposal would see the Sacklers, one of America's richest families, cede control of the pharmaceutical giant, which is facing thousands of state and federal lawsuits, the company said Sunday.
If approved by a bankruptcy judge, Purdue says it expects the proposed restructuring to provide more than USD 10 billion to help tackle addiction and see the new company's profits re-directed in ways that benefit the claimants and American people.
Purdue Chairman Steve Miller said the settlement will "provide billions of dollars and critical resources to communities across the country trying to cope with the opioid crisis."
The company has filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code and, if the proposal receives court approval, it will then dissolve and transfer its

Taiwan severed ties with the Solomon Islands on Monday after learning the Pacific nation was switching diplomatic recognition to China, as Taipei accused Beijing of using "dollar diplomacy" to buy off its few remaining allies.
The switch is a major coup for Beijing just weeks before it celebrates the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.  And it leaves Taiwan more isolated than ever with just 16 nations left that recognise it.
Taiwan's foreign minister Joseph Wu said Taipei had learned that the cabinet of Solomons Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare had made the decision to recognise Beijing earlier Monday.
"The government hereby declares the termination of diplomatic relations with the Solomon Islands with immediate effect," Wu said, adding Taiwanese diplomats were being withdrawn from Honiara and that Solomons envoys would be expected to do the same.
"The government of China has once again resorted to dollar diplomacy and false promises of large amounts of

Drone strikes on Libya's coastal town of Sirte killed two pro-unity government fighters and wounded 18 others on Monday, their force said, blaming foreign powers backing military strongman Khalifa Haftar.
The three raids on the former Islamic State group bastion targeted the city's Al-Sabaa district and Al-Gordabiya airbase south of the city, said the Sirte Security Force's spokesman, Taha Hadid.
The raids were carried out by "foreign drones" supplied by outside powers which support Haftar, he said.
The Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) set up the security force shortly after pro-GNA forces ousted IS jihadists from the coastal city, their North African stronghold, following a gruelling 2016 offensive.
Haftar's self-styled Libyan National Army has been battling since early April to seize the capital from pro-GNA forces, which control the coastline between Tripoli and Sirte.
The two sides are embroiled in a stalemate in the capital's southern outskirts and have resorted .

A top Spanish court on Monday said it had denied a US request to extradite Venezuela's former military intelligence chief on drug trafficking charges, instead ordering his release.
"The Audiencia National has denied the extradition of General Hugo Armando Carvajal," said Spain's top criminal court, which handles such requests.
The judges decided to release Carvajal, who served as head of military intelligence under the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez and has been held in provisional detention since his arrest in Madrid in mid-April.
Details of the full judgement will not be published until Tuesday, said the court which examined the case last week.
"We are very satisfied but out of prudence, we are not going to comment on the decision until we have the full judgement," Carvajal's lawyer Maria Dolores de Arguelles told AFP by telephone.
"We only have the judgement on his release and I am personally going to the Estremera prison to tell him," she said, indicating that he would be ...
