Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez says Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool need to win trophies to prove their quality.

Benitez won the Champions League and FA Cup as Liverpool's manager and were runners up in the league in 2009.

He said: “I like to watch Liverpool. And if it's not against them, I hope they play well. I think this is a very good team.

“They play with quality and pace and that is what makes the difference in football. They have a lot of players with pace, especially the front three.

“They are strong physically and they also work very hard. It is a very good team.

“We won four trophies, we played finals, semi-finals, we did well and the people that remember that.

“They don't talk about this week when we won 5-1 against Aston Villa. They remember maybe when we beat Barcelona and Real Madrid. But they don't remember the games.

“They remember the stat of winning a trophy. You have to win. I feel they have the potential to do it."
