Jurgen Klopp fires warning to Lionel Messi ahead of Barcelona clash

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp warns they will do anything to end Lionel Messi's Champions League dream ahead of the semi-final clash with the Catalan giants. Barcelona superstar once said: "We promise to do everything possible to this beautiful cup comes back to the Nou Camp again" However, Klopp is confident his side will at any cost broke Messi's dream and take the trophy to Anfield for the sixth time. “Messi said before the start of the season that they wanted to bring back this cup. That sounded already like a threat to me!” he said with a smile. “Now we are here, we want to go to the final as well. Will we suffer? 100 per cent. Will there be moments where we have chances? 100 per cent. We cannot do more, we do not need extra motivation. We are fighting like crazy. We want to stay in this competition, to get a result tomorrow that gives us a good chance to do it at home. Whatever that result is, we want it.” Klopp says he wants Liverpool to dream, NOT Messi. “I couldn't be more excited about having the opportunity to play here - and that's what I will transmit to my players, to enjoy it, be excited by it. We cannot do more. We dream like you dream and try everything. We have a chance in both competitions, but we have to play the games. We have to work for it tomorrow. We are here, we want to play our best football and we will see what we get for it.” The first leg of the tie will be played in the Camp Nou, on Wednesday, May 1. The Return leg will be played following Tuesday, May 7, at Anfield.
