Liverpool have no intention of sacrificing Champions League progress to boost their chances of winning the Premier League title and will do their best to win both competitions this season, goalkeeper Alisson Becker has said.

The Merseyside club, who face Bayern Munich in the Champions League later on Wednesday, are also in the race for the Premier League title, leading some pundits to suggest they should prioritise domestic glory over European success.

Liverpool, who finished as Champions League runners-up last season, are a point and a place behind leaders Manchester City with eight games left in the Premier League season.

The last-16 second leg tie at Bayern is finely poised after the sides played out a 0-0 draw in the first leg, with Liverpool needing a win or score draw to reach the quarter-finals.
