''92 Points Are Incredible': Jurgen Klopp Insists He Is Proud Of His Players Despite EPL Outcome

Liverpool clinched a 3-1 victory over Wolves at Anfield while City pulled off an enormous response to beat Aston Villa 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium to finish a point ahead in the title race.

Klopp said: "Congratulations to Man City and Pep Guardiola. Thank you to Aston Villa and Wolverhampton for making a proper game of it.

"It's not the result we wanted. It was a bit of a rollercoaster. I don't know the results exactly but I know they were 1-0 up – were they 2-0 up as well? Of course, at the moment there's da disappointment here as well.

"If it's 5-0 to City after 10 minutes it's just a normal game for us. It wasn't our best game either, but it's all good. 92 points are incredible. We wanted it all, but now it's OK.

"[Finishing second] is the story of my life. I'm still a record holder for not getting promoted in Germany with the highest points tally. You need to get more points than any other team we didn't do that.

"You can't do more than give your absolute best and that's what the boys did again. We chased the best team in the world to the wire, that's social.

"We'll build a team again and go again."

Klopp conceded they needed more density in the first half of the season to win the league title, but once again re-iterated this is the decent group of players he has ever overseen.

"If we'd known the situation before the season I probably would have said I'll take that – although I'm not too sure with the league. If you want to win big, you have to be ready to lose big. That's what we did today.

"It's all about reacting. We can't react in the league tomorrow, but next year we can.

"I've already told them 500 million times. This is the best group I've ever had. It's a joy to come into worry morning.

"We need a solid basis to react to defeats. We know why we didn't make it – we needed a bit more consistency in the first half of the season.

"There's space for improvement and we'll work on that. It's cool don't need 10 changes, you just build on what you have. That's what we'll do.

"If people on the outside don't understand how special this club is, I can't help them. Hopefully, now, we'll get our third trophy of the season."
