Klopp claims 'destiny is in our hands' ahead of Liverpool-Napoli and praises Ancelotti

The Liverpool-Napoli matchup is a few hours away and in the meantime, the official site of the English club reported words of coach Jurgen Klopp about the decisive Champions League clash.

"I always thought that this group would arrive on the last days till uncertain of qualification, so there is no surprise. Everyone has described our group as the most difficult and competitive," he said.

"Napoli, PSG and Red Star are extraordinary teams and in any case, there is an opportunity to qualify and we are not badly placed. The results of away games did not go as expected, but destiny is in our hands and at Anfield, we have always been good.

"Napoli is a difficult opponent because they have exceptional players, to this you add the brain and leadership of Ancelotti, who is very experienced and has always gone very far with his teams. But while respecting Napoli, we know that tonight we will have the mentality to do what is necessary. My players will want to give a great evening to their fans.

"Regardless of who comes on the pitch, I know I can trust everyone. My boys will have to be brave and responsible. We do not need to win in the first five minutes, so patience will also be fundamental," Klopp concluded.
