Diaz joined Liverpool from Portuguese club Porto in January, while Jota plays for the Portugal national team.

And Klopp has said he couldn't understand anything Spanish-speaking Diaz had to say on Liverpool's Portuguese opposition.

He said at a press conference: "He [Diaz] tried for 10 minutes but I didn't understand a word.

"With Vitor Matos, Pep Lijnders and Diogo Jota, we have enough experts in Portuguese football, but we did analysis as normal anyway and had a meeting this morning."

Klopp added of Benfica: "There is a lot of quality and experience in this team. It is an interesting challenge. That is how it should be. I am really happy and I am really looking forward to it."
