What are the managers saying ahead of RB Salzburg vs Liverpool?

Jesse Marsch, RB Salzburg: "Jurgen Klopp is probably the best coach in the world right now.

"I think you can fairly say that from the way his team is performing and the history he has in the game, and the way that he's had success in Germany and England.

"Trying to match up against his team is not so easy for us, especially when you talk about the talent that he has on the pitch. So what? We're going to play the game and it's going to be more about the two teams than it is about the two coaches.

"For me, it would not mean anything more to beat Klopp, it would mean a lot more for our team to be successful against this team, against Liverpool, against his team.

"That's the focus. I don't get too much into ego-driven, personal relationships. It's always going to be about our team and how good is our team on the day and how prepared are they."

Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool: "Two weeks ago Salzburg were very happy that they won against Genk and we had a draw against Napoli because they thought now they have the 'final' against us. Napoli was really happy that night because they got a point at Anfield and thought they 'only' have to play Genk next week in a home game.

"Two weeks later, everybody knows it's a final. We knew it since two weeks ago and we are prepared for that.

"Salzburg has to win against us, has to win against Liverpool; it's possible because it's football, but we are not a typical Champions League winner of last year or finalist of two years before.

"We are still ambitious like crazy, we will go for everything, we will run for our lives – that's what we are, plus playing football. It's not that we come here and think that we have to dominate Salzburg, we will fight in each challenge, 100%."
