Klopp: I don't think Simeone is running through his living room after drawing Liverpool Champions League Back to scene of Champions League triumph

Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool will return to the scene of their 2019 Champions League triumph as they will face Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the competition.

The German coach spoke of his delight at heading back to the Wanda Metropolitano where the Reds defeated Tottenham in June to claim the club's sixth European Cup.

Nevertheless, Klopp acknowledged the difficulty of their opponents.

"It's an interesting draw. Before the draw I actually thought it would be Madrid, either one of the two clubs, and that's the way it is," he said.

"Madrid is the place where we only have fantastic memories, all of us, so that's great, but this time we play Atletico there and it's their home ground.

"It's a tough one, but if you go through all of the draws, there are pretty much four or five potential finals already in the last 16."

While noting the quality of Atletico, Klopp also made it clear that his opponents won't have been ecstatic at the draw.

"Really, really good. A good draw, a difficult game like it should be

"But I don't think Mr Simeone is running through his living room and is happy that he got Liverpool.

"It will be a tough game. Two teams who are used to playing intense football, different styles and slightly different organisation of course, but both are ready for intensity and that makes it pretty tough for both."
