Liverpool have the talent to knock Atletico Madrid out of the UCL, Luis Garcia has said.
Luis believes the Anfield crowd will also play a major role in the second-leg clash.
According to Garcia, he is very positive that the Reds have it in them to overcome the difficult situation and turn the tie around the same way they did last season.
He, however, added that the clash will be difficult for both teams and Atletico will still believe they have a chance to progress after their performance in the 1st leg.
His words, “[I think it will be] tough for both sides, to be honest,”
“Here in Spain and in Madrid the feeling is a little bit the same – they know Anfield is a tough stadium and not many teams get out alive, the crowd always helps the home team. [But] actually, they know Simeone knows how to deal with these kinds of situations.
“After what we saw in the Metropolitano, where they were working the way they normally do – defending very well, waiting for the chance and the fast transitions and counterattacks they do so well – they still think they can make it.
“And then the other way around, knowing Liverpool and after being there many times in many situations where Liverpool needed to score goals and managed it, they know what Anfield can be if they need to score one, two or three goals.
“I’m quite positive, to be honest. I think Liverpool have the power, quality and talent to overcome the situation and go through to the next round.”
