Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: Champions League not far off

Published on: 04 March 2016

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp feels they're within touching distance of the Champions League.

Victory over Manchester City on Wednesday lifted the Reds to within six points of their fourth-placed opponents and that night Klopp praised their reaction after losing to Manuel Pellegrini's side in the Capital One Cup final three days previously.

"Six points is not the world. In our situation I would like to say we take each point but we have to show it," he said.

"From now on the work can be completely different if we want.

"We need to stay angry - it is not that we are always looking for our game and which style [to play]. You need [to find] a way and then go.

"This is the most important part of the league, the rest of the season has been preparation for these last few yards.

"Our starting position is not masterclass but it is good enough to do something and we should try everything we can but I don't think about the top four.

"I only think about how there is a lot of points to get and we should really get as many as we can - starting at Crystal Palace (on Sunday).

"I didn't forget the first game when we lost it (Palace inflicted Klopp's first defeat as Liverpool manager in November): we have to take points back."
