Former Liverpool defender Alberto Moreno says that his Villarreal side will not be phased about playing at Anfield in the Champions League semi-final.
The Reds take on the Yellow Submarines in the first leg of their semi-final clash on Wednesday.
As Jurgen Klopp's team hope to make the final, against either Real Madrid or Manchester City, Moreno states that Villarreal will not be intimidated.
"Suffer," Moreno, who will sit out the match through injury, told reporters. "We are going to suffer. But if you want to win against these teams you have to suffer. You're not going to beat one of these teams face-to-face, it's impossible.
"You have to suffer and we know how to suffer. Villarreal has a virtue, that we all know how to suffer together as a team, but then we also know how to play ball because there are players in this squad of spectacular quality.
"That explains the way we are doing. Because when we have to suffer against big teams, we suffer. And we know how to do it. And then with the ball the big teams suffer against us. They are aware of that."
