Liverpool legend Luis Garcia insists Jurgen Klopp must win silverware this year
Luis Garcia believes the current Liverpool squad are better than the 2005 Champions League winning side and are capable of winning the trophy for the sixth time
LIVERPOOL have won the Champions League more times than any other English club, but Luis Garcia insists Jurgen Klopp must take them back to the top this year.
On Wednesday, they will face Sevilla at Anfield having obtained qualification to the group stages by beating Hoffenheim.
Liverpool haven't won silverware since 2012 when they won the league cup and have not had their hands on the Champions League trophy since 2005, which was as a result of the infamous 'Miracle of Istanbul'.
But Garcia is adamant that this has to be the season that Klopp wins trophies, he said: "He has been at the club almost two years. I think he is doing a good job.
"He has brought in some of the players he wanted, now is the time for him to show the team is ready to face everything."
Klopp is well known on the European circuit having reached the Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but he must continue to focus his squad who received a thrashing at the hands of Manchester City in the Premier League.
Garcia is confident that some of the performances that Liverpool have delivered demonstrates that they are capable of winning the Champions League for a sixth time.
He is no stranger to European football, having scored the infamous 'ghost goal' that knocked out Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side.
