Jurgen Klopp: 'Roma will be fresher than Liverpool'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has claimed that Roma will be fresher than his side for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

At a press conference, the 50-year-old told reporters: "I watch quite a lot of Italian football to be honest. I know Edin Dzeko from Germany and I am not surprised by Roma. "The quality in their team and squad is a lot. They made seven or eight changes from the last game, so that is a big advantage for them. They have a full squad available and all of them are good. "They have clear options up front and in midfield, they all look settled, fit and experienced. For them, like us, semi-finals are a big thing."
