Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has dismissed suggestions that the pressure will get to Jurgen Klopp’s men.

The Reds have got off to a lighting start in the Premier League as they look to end Anfield’s 28-year wait for the title. And Roberto Firmino’s late midweek winner against Paris Saint-Germain meant last season’s beaten Champions League finalists got their Euro campaign off to a winning start.

“I agree with the manager that whatever competition it is we should try to do our best and see where we are at the end of the season.”
