Liverpool eyes double crownhome/Sports/Football Times/Liverpool eyes double crownLIVERPOOL: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his players are reveling in the pressure to win every game as they chase a Premier League and Champions League double. But Klopp believes being in the running to win both competitions is inspiring his squad not to give up late in games. Liverpool thrashed the Portuguese side 5-0 in last season’s Champions League last 16, but Klopp said the tie is tougher than it seems. “People around said so many things, ‘you want Porto’, they only look at numbers and names, stuff like that. Liverpool has largely coped without Gomez thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s towering presence at the heart of a much-improved defense.
