Klopp reveals Champions League mission statement

Jurgen Klopp insists that Liverpool should be in the Champions League regularly.

A final day win over Middlesbrough ensured that the Reds secured a passage into Europe’s elite club competition by finishing fourth in the Premier League table.

It is only the second time in the past seven years that Liverpool have reached the Champions League, a tournament they have won more than any English club.

And Klopp has outlined his mission statement in attempts to restore continental nights to Anfield on a regular basis from next season.

He said: “It is the best tournament in Europe.

“There is nothing better maybe in the world. You want to be there. Liverpool needs to be there consistently.

 

“I am not saying we are already in, qualification is qualification, I am already looking forward to it. We will be really strong and really fight for it and we want to be there.

“It’s a fantastic competition. In the last 10 years, Liverpool was not a part of it too often. We should do everything to change this, that’s always the way.

“You have to make steps and the step is for us to be around the best teams in the world because we are at one of the best clubs in the world.”
