'Quite different' - Diogo Jota makes Liverpool admission as 'major obstacle' highlighted

Diogo Jota believes the Anfield crowd has a key part to play as Liverpool aim to take advantage of a "perfect opportunity" by challenging for honours again next season.

victory will not prevent Liverpool posting their worst Premier League away record over a full season under Jurgen Klopp, their home form continues to impress

at Anfield in front of supporters since April 2017 - a run of one defeat in 97 such games.

Jota:

"To compare us with other countries, Portugal mainly, I think the support at Anfield is quite different,"

"The situation we're in would be different (elsewhere) as people experience things differently

"When we play at home, the atmosphere is always at a really high level. When we were losing 2-0 against Arsenal, for example, everyone got behind the team. It is massively important to have them on our side because we were 2-0 down against the top-of-the-league team who were full of confidence, but in the second half we could show they were not that good in the moment."

Jota added: "When everyone is together at Anfield, it is a massive obstacle to overcome. The fans' support of the team is permanent and if they have anything to say it will be after the game and not during it. During games they genuinely try to help the team and have an impact on the game. I have been to Anfield as an opponent so I know how hard it is to play there.

"Now it is for us to create new history from next season. We are a club that needs to fight for titles and next season we have a perfect opportunity to do that."

Jota detailed the difference the Anfield crowd can make to the team:

"It's about momentum and when you have the momentum it is hard to explain what it is actually like,"

"I don't think we are boosted and we can run faster than The Flash, it's just about a feeling things are going well and all the people in the stadium are on their toes supporting the team. We feel like we are unstoppable at that moment and the opponent feels exactly the opposite and that is why we can win games and have the advantage in those moments."
