Liverpool do battle with Roma tomorrow in a Champions League semi-final.
Speaking to The Liverpool Echo, Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has called on the club’s “unreal” supporters to be the 12th man ahead of tomorrow’s visit of Roma in a Champions League semi-final.
The Anfield faithful are famous for subjecting the opposition to a vociferous 90 minutes on big European nights and the Italian giants are certain to feel the brunt of it tomorrow evening.
Liverpool eliminated Manchester City in the previous round after the fans helped them secure a comfortable 3-0 win in the first leg on Merseyside.
And Henderson, a £20 million signing back in 2011, is hopeful that the home support can help Jurgen Klopp’s side secure another big advantage before heading to Italy next week.
He told The Liverpool Echo: “At Anfield, the atmosphere is unreal. It gives us a great lift and it really helps us.
“Hopefully, it will be no different but our performance needs to match it. I’m sure the atmosphere in Rome will be no different, but I think the fans will be electric for us again.”
If Liverpool are up for it, which they most definitely should be, then it could be a very tough 90 minutes for Roma.
But the Serie A outfit cannot be underestimated, having recovered from a 4-1 defeat by Barcelona in the first leg of their quarter-final at Camp Nou to ultimately eliminate Ernesto Valverde’s side.
