Jurgen Klopp makes Man City admission after Liverpool learn Champions League opponents

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted he was relieved to avoid Manchester City in the Champions League draw on Friday.

City have been placed in the opposite side of the draw to their Premier League title rivals, meaning they can only meet in the final of the competition. The Blues will face Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals, while Liverpool come up against Benfica.

The semi-finals were also decided during Friday’s ceremony, with City set to face either Chelsea or Real Madrid should they overcome Atletico. Liverpool, meanwhile, will face either Bayern Munich or Villarreal should they beat Benfica.
