It rarely gets bigger than Liverpool vs. Manchester United.
Even with the teams not directly competing for the same things this season, matches between the two are always viewed among the most important of the Premier League campaign. And on Tuesday they'll face off at Anfield for the latest installment of their storied rivalry — one that Jurgen Kloop says may only be topped by Barcelona vs. Real Madrid.
"It’s a big game, it’s a massive game, the two biggest clubs in the world, I would say," the Liverpool manager said.
"Maybe in Spain two will say it differently, but two of the biggest clubs in the world for sure face each other.
"Massive history around, big fights in the past, big fights since I’m here."
With the Reds embroiled in a title race with Manchester City and United just three points back of fourth place, both sides have plenty motivation to treat Tuesday's match like a cup final. There are only seven and six games remaining on the season for Liverpool and United, respectively, so the slim margins for error demand that both clubs look to maximize their results from here on out.
"This time it’s an incredibly important game again for both teams. That says it all," Klopp said.
"Both teams are fighting for being in the Champions League next year or more, we will see. That’s a tough one.
"United are obviously in the situation that they won the last game, I heard now a little bit they were not overly happy with the performance but the result, and results from other games, opened the door again for the Champions League.
"And that’s the Man United we will face now. They will go for it and we have to make sure if they want to qualify for the Champions League they have to do it without our points.
"But between now and then, an intense 90 minutes – 95 probably – will have to be played."
