Champions League: Klopp asks fans to 'show respect' to Roma By Amaechi Agbo Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has asked fans to "show respect" outside Anfield before Tuesday's Champions League tie against Roma, and not throw objects at the visiting team's bus. Cans, bottles and flares were thrown at Manchester City's bus as it arrived at the ground before the first leg of their quarter-final earlier this month.

"In the stadium do it again and better," said Klopp. "Outside the stadium, please show the respect we have to show. "We can show how wonderful Liverpool people are and we can show it in 20 minutes before the game and then the whole world knows it." Police will use mobile CCTV and specialist dogs trained to detect pyrotechnics at the game. The match commander - chief superintendent Dave Charnock - has warned fans with flares and other pyrotechnics inside and outside the ground could face prosecution. He added: "We are expecting a vibrant atmosphere at Tuesday's match, but our intention is that at the end of the day we will be talking about the game and what happened on the pitch as opposed to off the pitch."

It's not easy for me, I love the club, love the city, and I know they love me, so it's not going to be easy for me. It's more emotions. "I know them, we played together for two years, they know how I play, I know how they play, it's not going to be an easy game at all,” Salah said Liverpool will face AS Roma in the first leg first round of the Champions League semi-finals at Anfield today by 7:45pm Nigerian time with PFA Player of the Year, Mohammad Salah set to face his former club in what could be a potential emotional reunion.
