Diogo Jota preparing for Liverpool "downgrade" as he jokes about avoiding one opponent

Diogo Jota admits the Liverpool fans will view a season in the Europa League as a "downgrade".

The Reds have graced the Champions League in all but one of Jurgen Klopp's full seasons in charge, only missing out on his first year. They've also been hugely successful in the competition, reaching three finals in the space of four years, winning it in 2019 after seeing off Tottenham.

Next season though Anfield will host Europa League football after Liverpool endured a poor campaign by their high standards, eventually missing out on the top four. Despite a late charge they were four points off Newcastle in fourth and Jota, who has played in Europe's secondary competition before, accepts that it will be a different experience for the Kop.
