Klopp sends warning to Liverpool squad despite first leg CL win over Porto Jurgen Klopp warned Liverpool’s players to expect a tough second leg in their Champions League tie with Porto despite coming out on top at Anfield. First-half goals from Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino helped Liverpool to a comfortable 2-0 first leg win as they continued their bid to reach the semi-finals for a second year running. However, Klopp admitted that Liverpool still have work to do if they are to reach that target. He told BT Sport: “We are happy, it is the first leg and it will be an intense second game. We scored two goals and controlled the ball most of the time. “We gave a few too many set pieces away. I think Porto score about 40% of their goals from set pieces. We also saw one or two counter attacks, but the rest of the game we played really well. “We lost a little bit of direction in the second half, but there’s nothing to criticise, 2-0 is a very, very good result. “We knew we had to play the second game and we cannot decide the tie tonight, so now we have to go there and fight again.” Get the latest personalised Reds products on our new TEAMtalk Liverpool shop!
