The Liverpool manager reckons his side will defend their title as European champions in the hardest competition of all time.

The reigning champions are in Pot One for this evening’s draw in Monaco alongside Europa League winners Chelsea , and fellow top seeds Manchester City , Barcelona and Bayern Munich. But with a Pot Two containing Real Madrid , Atletico Madrid, Dortmund and Napoli, the likes of Inter, Leverkusen and Lyon in Pot Three, and RB Leipzig, Galatasaray and Lille in the fourth, there is potential for more than the usual ‘group of death’. For Klopp, that means it is hard to predict English clubs will dominate like last season, or even that Liverpool can reach a third successive final. “Someone told me about the groups and what could happen, and it is just crazy,” he said. “The groups will be incredible. I don’t think there was ever a stronger Pot Two. “They should all be in Pot One, but there is not enough space there. I don’t think there was ever a stronger Pot Three. Then Pot 4 you can get RB Leipzig – wow! “If people really think about this kind of Super League, then you don’t need it.”
