Liverpool midfielder is relaxed about the club’s tough draw.

Jurgen Klopp the head coach

Liverpool have been drawn in a tough group in this year’s Champions League.

They face Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli, and Red Star Belgrade as they look to follow up their run to the final last season.

The Reds made easy work of last year’s group stage; on paper this one appears far tougher.

One Liverpool player who is not worried is veteran midfielder James Milner, who has seen it all before.

He reacted on Twitter in relaxed mood, suggesting that whoever the club would have been drawn with would be tough.

While Milner’s attitude is right, it’s hard to argue that drawing PSG is the same challenge they would have faced had they ended up against Lokomotiv Moscow from pot one.

If there is a consolation, then it is the fact Liverpool themselves were the team from pot three who every team wanted to avoid, and their new rivals will not be pleased to have landed them.
