Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers had this to offer ahead of today's European encounter (via UEFA): "It will be a tough game for us. They are the top team in Bulgaria. We've obviously had them watched and done lot of research and analyzed the way they play. They are a team that want to attack and want to work well."
Center-back Dejan Lovren added: "It's for everyone a pleasure to be back in the Champions League after five years and now we want success here in the competition. I will not say we have an easy group, but I am sure we can pass through it. The most important thing is to win the first game. It is so much easier if you start with three points."
