Andy Robertson has warned Liverpool will need to be at ‘full-throttle’ to overcome Bayern Munich.
Tuesday’s Champions League last 16 first leg tie will be the Reds’ first game since an enforced 10-day break due to their early exit from the FA Cup.
Jurgen Klopp’s side returned from a warm-weather training camp in Marbella earlier this week as part of their preparations to take on the Bavarians.
But Robertson is under no illusions about the standards required to beat Bayern.
He said: “We need to be full-throttle for that game.
“They are such a good team and they have been the last six or seven years so we know what a tough task it will be.
“But we believe we can cause any teams problems and we have to be at our best.”
The Scotland captain also believes that Liverpool’s home advantage can help fire up Klopp’s players and cites last season’s route to the Champions League final.
“I think that’s what all good teams do. We had a good run last season and especially in the Champions League I think it helped massively,” added Robertson.
“Everyone knows how special nights here are in the Champions League. We feed off each other.
“Players feed off the fans and the fans feed off the players because it’s up to us to get them to have something to shout about.
“But it also helps when they’re getting behind us and it can maybe give you that extra percentage or whatever in the game. That’s what home fans are for.
“Every club’s got it and it’s all about making the most of it.”
