Jurgen Klopp is relishing the prospect of coming up against two former Liverpool heroes, Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez, in the Reds Champions League semi-final clash with Barcelona.
The Merseysiders booked their place in the last four with a thumping 4-1 win over Porto in Portugal on Wednesday night, winning the tie 6-1 on aggregate.
Next up they face a rather more difficult prospect against Spanish champions and La Liga leaders Barca, who boast two very familiar faces in their star-studded attack.
Honestly the only thing Im thinking about is Cardiff on Sunday, but I can answer the question because it was clear since yesterday that if we win it we will play these boys, Klopp told Viasport when asked about facing the two former Liverpool stars.

But I think it will not be a friendly game so we have to fight, we have to work, they will do it as well.
Its so wonderful that you play with Liverpool against Barcelona in a European semi-final, that itself is a wonderful message and now lets try to do the best and well see what happens.
