Jurgen Klopp hails Liverpool side as ‘one of the best ever’ and makes Premier League title vow
Jurgen Klopp hailed his Liverpool team as one of the best the club have ever had and vowed they will get even better after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title.The Reds ended the campaign with a 2-0 win over Wolves to finish on 97 points but it was not enough to topple Manchester City, as they beat Brighton to be crowned champions for a second successive season.2

Jurgen Klopp applauds at the end of an outstanding Premier League season for Liverpool

Klopp, whose side reached the final of the Champions League in remarkable fashion earlier in the week, refused to be downbeat about losing out to City though as he insisted plenty more chances to win the title will present themselves for his ever-improving squad.He said: “As long as City are around, with the quality they have, the financial power and all that stuff, its not that any other team will pass them easily, thats clear.“You need to be very, very close to perfection to win the Premier League as long as this is the case. But we made unbelievably big steps and I really expect more to come, thats the truth. What that means at the end, I dont know.“But if you see whatever happens to you in life as the only chance you ever had, I feel a bit for you, to be honest.2

“Theres a lot to come, a lot of years and its all about you, what you do with it and thats what we do with it. People will tell us now its 30 years [since Liverpool won the league] but they have bigger problems, to be honest, all the people who will say that.“We will go again. This team tried it for the first time and I really think they did quite impressively to try the first time. And, on this road, to qualify for the Champions League final is pretty special. This team is one of the best that ever played for Liverpool, 100 per cent. But we play in a league with other very good teams, thats what we have to accept and we do accept, no problem.“We will go again, 100 per cent. But give me at least a few hours to come over that today.”

He added: “It was brilliant, 97 points is incredible, and only because City are there it was not enough. In each other country, it would have been easily enough. But here, thats how it is, no problem with that because thats the competition we are in.“Its not a competition of 30 years ago, 20 years ago or 10 years ago, thats completely different. These boys were really ready for it and they have my maximum respect.“Not only them because I have to say, a lot of people say about the Liverpool supporters that they are so desperate about winning the league and stuff like that, but how they followed this path, how they followed this way, is just incredible. “This club is in the best moment for a long, long time and it will not end because there is one team with a point more.“We will keep going and then we will see what we get for that. If you would have thought before the season that we will have 97 points, everybody would have taken it. But then, somebody decided theres another team with 98 points, so thats how it is.”

With Naples I played eight matches and lost one, the feeling for this competition is good. We need top four in the Premier League, we want to get into the Champions League. It is very difficult to get into top four of Premier League, in the final of League Cup we had to get through Liverpool and Tottenham twice, then City in the final.
