Going unbeaten in the league would be a huge achievement though and I hope he doesn't throw that away.
I agree, that's why I doubt Klopp will do any rotations this weekend. They've gotten this far going unbeaten, and with only 13 games left in the season and not much contention in their upcoming schedule, it seems they can easily set the records and take the league without a loss. Klopp can probably taste it. I hope he doesn't sacrifice the CL, but I have a feeling he's looking at making EPL history this year. LFC can do it with many more wins than the Gunners had in 2003-04, we're witnessing the new "Invincibles."
I havent seen much of Atleti this season but a quick look at La Liga tells you that theyve played 23 & only won 10. I appreciate that Simeone is a great manager but Griezmann is gone, Godin isnt there any more. Theyre not the same team that got to two CL finals a few years ago.
Results over the last 2.5 seasons tell you LFC are one of the best, if not the best team in the world. Over 2 legs LFC will definitely be stronger.
It's hard to predict the results of an international match across leagues, but it seems fairly obvious that LFC is the better team. The way LFC dominated the CL last year, and with their unbeaten streak in the EPL extending well into last season are a demonstration how dangerous they are. I could easily see the match in Madrid going 0-2, that wouldn't surprise me at all.
