Mamadou Sakho talks up "mythical" Anfield atmosphere

French defender Mamadou Sakho talks up Liverpool's "mythical" Anfield atmosphere.

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho has explained his delight at playing his football at the club's "mythical" Anfield stadium.

The France international said that the club's 'You'll Never Walk Alone' anthem gives him the motivation he needs before heading into a game.

He told The Telegraph: "I have the opportunity and the luck to be on the field before a game when they do sing that ('You'll Never Walk Alone') song as part of this legendary, mythical stadium then it really warms the heart.

"It gives you a real frisson, a real shiver down your spine. But what it also does is transform you into a warrior who wants to go and fight for the ultimate, fight for that shirt."

Brendan Rodgers's side play Chelsea this afternoon.
