# Liverpool: Fans love Jurgen Klopp’s rallying cry for Salzburg encounter

**Liverpool fans have been reacting to manager Jurgen Klopp’s comments, describing the Salzburg clash as “like a final”.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”266169″\]

The German manager has not eluded from the importance of Tuesday’s game, with the defence of their Champions League title on the line.

The Reds need just a [point](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50667332) at the Red Bull Arena to advance to the last 16 of the competition. However, if they win and Napoli fail to defeat Genk, Liverpool will go through as group [winners](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50667332).

Salzburg, who lost [4-3](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49874345) at Anfield earlier in the tournament, need to [win](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50667332) and hope Genk cause a monumental upset to progress.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Klopp [said](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50667332) that his team have prepared for the game like it’s a cup final. He added that he has no expectations for his side to go through to the next round but to play to the best of their ability.

Supporters were in awe of the Stuttgart-born coach’s rally cry and made their feelings clear on social media.
