Gary Lineker challenged Jurgen Klopp's claim that 2-0 is the most overturned lead in 'the history of football'.
Liverpool welcome Inter Milan to Anfield for the second leg of the Champions League last 16 tie on Tuesday night and hold a 2-0 lead.
A place in the Champions League quarter final is on the line, but Liverpool are strong favourites to hold their nerve and progress.
The Reds have won all seven of their Champions League matches this season, but Klopp is aware that the job is not done and dusted just yet.

"The danger everyone knows about - 2-0 is the lead turned over the most in the history of football," said the German manager at a press conference on Monday afternoon.
Challenging the Liverpool boss on Twitter, Lineker wrote: "I suspect statistics will not support this."
Liverpool are hoping to win their seventh European crown this season and that would be Klopp's second while in charge at Anfield.
Klopp went on to say: "If you are at half-time and two up and you think you are already through, then you are already on the wrong path.
"The result was a lot better than I expected, really tough tie and difficult game to play... they are a really good team, they don't come here as tourists.
"They want to attack the game. Let's see what we can get from it."
