Champions League: Good news - Klopp reacts to new Round of 16 fixtures

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has described the new Champions League Round of 16 draws as 'good news'.

Liverpool were paired with Serie A champions, Inter Milan, in the Champions League last-16.

Klopp's side were initially paired with Red Bull Salzburg in the first draw on Monday morning that took place at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon.

However, a technical error meant the original draw was voided.

Reacting, Klopp told Liverpool's official website: "Definitely. I saw it live and I thought, 'You cannot let it stand like this, there is no chance.' Definitely, they had to do it again."

He added: "I had to wait 54 years to play at the San Siro for the first time... and now it'll be twice in three months, so that's good news!

"All good. Of course, it is a tough draw, definitely. They are the league leaders in Italy; a good team in a good moment. We will see how things go until we meet in February."

"Yes, obviously Sanchez and Dzeko we know well - and Lautaro Martinez is probably one of the most exciting strikers in the world."
