Liverpool have been warned they are not invincible in Thursday’s Europa League tie visit of Romania’s Unirea Urziceni.
Unirea boss Roni Levy came close to pulling off a miraculous victory last time he managed a side at Anfield back in 2006.
Liverpool needed an 87th-minute goal from Mark Gonzalez to see off Levy’s Maccabi Haifa to secure a 1-1 draw in the second leg of a Champions League qualifier and go through.
Like Liverpool, Unirea dropped into the competition after failing to progress through to the next round of the Champions League.
Israeli coach Levy, who recently replaced Dan Petrescu at the helm, reckons his side can give the Reds a rude awakening.
Levy said: “I know Liverpool well. As manager of Maccabi Haifa we nearly beat them – they can be beaten.”
Unirea president Mihai Stoica also believes his club can produce a shock.
He said: “I am confident that we can compete and achieve the success that we had earlier in the season.”
