And ahead of the much-anticipated European showdown, Klopp has heaped praise on PSG and labelled them the favourites to win the Champions League.
I think they are favourite for the tournament; in general they are with the quality they have, Klopp said.

They want to go through the group and that will be enough motivation for them.
They have a really good team who have made an impressive start in the league and they have the chance to go through in the Champions League.
