Jurgen Klopp doubts Liverpool's Champions League credentials

August 30, 2019 at 9:51 AM

Jurgen Klopp does not see English teams dominating this year's Champions League and has cast doubt on Liverpool's chances of retaining the trophy.

Holders Liverpool will be among the top seeds for Thursday's group-stage draw but Klopp does not believe his side are favourites for the competition after winning last year's all-Premier League final.

The quality of teams across the draw is so high that talk of a European Super League is unnecessary, says Klopp.

"I will have no problem with it [reaching the final] if it happens again, but at this moment I am not too sure it will," said Klopp.

"We have the same chance like everyone else, but that is all, and I don't see us, the English teams, dominating. I really think a lot of teams have a good chance."
