Bredan Rodgers comment on Liverpool champions Leauge tie with Manchester City

Brendan Rodgers has labelled the Reds’ Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City as "the tie of the round".

Former Liverpool manager Bredan Rodgers think it would have be better for the English clubs if both Liverpool and Manchester City were not draw together in the Champions League quarter finals.

The Celtic manager described the situation as a shame. Speaking ahead of Sunday's Scottish Premiership game at Motherwell, Rodgers commented on Liverpool's Champions League draw saying: "It's brilliant. Two fantastic teams, it's going to be a special occasion.

"Obviously the first game is at Anfield so Liverpool will look to make a good start in the tie there. It's a fascinating game, it should be brilliant.

"It's just a shame that both got drawn together at this stage; it would have been nice for them to have been split up, to be honest, because they're both two very, very good sides.


"I think it's probably the tie of the round."
