Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will face Napoli at Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has spoken highly of the Liverpool fans and of Anfield to The Express.
Italian club Napoli will take on Liverpool away from home at Anfield in Champions League Group C on Tuesday evening.
Liverpool are third in the group with six points from five matches, two points behind second-placed Paris Saint-Germain and three points behind leaders Napoli.
The Reds, Napoli and PSG have the chance to go through to the last-16 stage of the Champions League, but one of them will miss out.
Ancelotti knows all about Liverpool fans and Anfield from his time spent as the Chelsea manager between 2009 and 2011.
The former Real Madrid head coach told The Express: “Anfield is a beautiful stadium. The best stadium in the world for atmosphere and the people are really passionate. To play here it’s really exciting.
“Can my team handle the atmosphere? I hope so. I will be telling them to go out and enjoy it and my players are positive. Everyone wants to play at one of the best stadiums in the world.”
Big game
Playing at home will give Liverpool an advantage, but Napoli do have a good team who can pick up all three points at Anfield.
For Jurgen Klopp’s side to win this evening, they need to be on the front foot right from the start and simply cannot allow Napoli to take the lead.
Napoli play exciting and entertaining football, and this evening’s match could be a Champions League classic.
