“We have courage and confidence. Jurgen Klopp knows us, he will not underestimate us. We will give our all to achieve a sensational result. This match is something special. Liverpool are a cult club, Jurgen’s got a big name in Germany. I am delighted for everyone at the club.”
Augsburg captain Paul Verhaegh said: “Anfield is football history, we wanted that and it’s just super. We’ve shown in the past that we can surprise. We want to do that against Liverpool.”
Augsburg sporting executive Stefan Reuter added: “It’s sensational for us and for our fans, for everyone at the club this is a real highlight. I’ve seen a very strong Liverpool in recent weeks. They’ve got great quality in Firmino and Emre Can they have two players who know the Bundesliga. We’ve won our last match against Klopp 1-0. We take that as a good omen. We have an experienced team and playing Liverpool is something very special. It’ll be a highlight to play at Anfield.”
