The Bayern Munich and Dutch great delivered his verdict on his club’s last-16 opponents in Europe’s premier competition ahead of next Tuesday’s first leg showdown at Anfield.
Robben explained how the current Liverpool side are different to the 2004-05 one managed by Rafael Benitez to Champions League glory and which famously beat Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea team in that season’s semi-finals.
‘Now I think it changed and they developed really well,” Robben told the Mail on Sunday. “Credit the new manager, who has done a great job. Last year they were in Champions League final, doing well in the league and at the moment they are level at the top, City is close.
“That’s the title everybody is waiting for in Liverpool. It’s a long, long time ago that they won the League and that’s the one, of course, they’re dreaming of.”
