Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp jokes Russell Crowe will play in midfield tonight, but the actor responds “Forza Roma!”
The Giallorossi face the English side in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, and have a mountain to climb after losing the first leg 5-2.
BT Sport spoke to Klopp ahead of the match, asking if he’d ever seen the film ‘Gladiator’.
“Of course, Russell Crowe will play in my midfield tomorrow,” the German responded with a laugh.

The Australian actor doesn’t seem up for that particular role though, not least due to his friendship with Francesco Totti.
“Ha, wrong team!” Crowe replied on Twitter. “Forza Roma!”
The Australian actor is a big calcio fan, and is also friends with Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero.
Ha. Squadra sbagliata.
Forza Roma!! https://t.co/AWmK3fV02z— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) May 2, 2018
