Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says his side will not fly through their Europa League group after a battling win over LASK Linz.
in their Europa League opener on Thursday. Florian Flecker's stunning strike gave the hosts the lead on 19 minutes but second-half goals from Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah sealed the three points. Although Klopp's men are one of the favourites to win this competition, the German stressed they cannot take the tournament lightly."I know how the world is and I know that people expect us to fly through this competition. It will not happen.
"We have to dig into it and that’s what we did. It was a massive learning curve tonight, the opponent suffered much less from the pitch than we did, which is a little bit normal because we had the ball more often. But besides that we had to get used to it. So we can learn so much."Klopp made 11 changes to the Liverpool team that started against Wolves in their previous match and the impact of those changes were felt as LASK outplayed the visitors in the first half.
