Kop need Star role

- BY JOHN CROSS

JURGEN KLOPP admits Liverpool have a “very, very important” Champions League test in Belgrade which will define their season so far.

Liverpool’s group is on a knife-edge and they cannot afford to slip up in what is likely to be a hostile atmosphere when they play Red Star tomorrow.

Klopp admits defeat would put a different perspectiv­e on the Reds’ start to the campaign, where they are unbeaten in the Premier League but not yet guaranteed a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The Liverpool boss said: “We’re good, we’re in a good place as a team, as a club. Your job is to make a final of each game so if we had lost at Arsenal then the whole start was average or worse. So it’s very, very important in Belgrade.”
