Jurgen Klopp insists that he has no fear of Liverpool players who manage Neymar and Kylian Mbappe and will not advise his players to handle them because they watched them "500,000 times on YouTube ".

The star duo of Paris Saint-Germain will play in the princes' park on wednesday after recovering from his injuries incurred in international service.

KloppThe team managed to keep them quiet for most of their first game at Anfield – Mbappe scoring an equalizer in the 83rd minute before Roberto Firmino clinched a winner for overtime – and he is confident that they can do the same again.

"It's much more difficult to prepare a match when my players do not know an opponent, which happens from time to time," Klopp said.

"We give them videos, but this generation is probably watching 500,000 YouTube videos from Mbappe, Neymar and (Edinson) Cavani and they know better than me their individual strengths.

"But they can only shine with the ball, which means we have to defend them.

"It is difficult to close spaces and if you do not close once, not only with quality but also speed, you have no chance.

"But you have to be brave on your own and that's what we did in the first game, we were so attacked even in our defense, constantly ahead.

"It's something that Paris is not used to because they're so dominant in the league, we have to make sure they're not so much against us.

"I am completely satisfied with our individual quality and I believe in 100% in the group, but it's the same for Thomas Tuchel and his players."

If Liverpool win and Red Star Belgrade do not beat Napoli, Klopp knows it's a big demand to win in the French capital, where the last 20 games of the PSG Champions League have won 15 wins and five zero.

"We do not think about it too much. We are athletes and we want to win games, "he added.

"We know the qualifying rules but we are here tomorrow night to win a football match with everything we have. We will not go for a specific result, we want to be as good as possible.

"It's difficult to come to Paris and get a result, but I think we should try.

"Two very ambitious teams will face each other in an interesting situation in the group because we brought Belgrade back into the group (with a defeat against Serbia in the last defeat).

"We never moaned about it, we did not think about it negatively, we were looking forward to the match in Paris."
