Jurgen Klopp thanked Aston Villa and Wolves for playing their part in a sensational final day of Premier League action, while also paying tribute to Manchester City and Pep Guardiola following their title triumph. The champions had to do it the hard way though after trailing Steven Gerrard’s side 2-0 in the second half but three goals in a manic five minutes swung the title race back in City’s favour, to cap yet another stunning season.

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 – where they 2-0 up as well? Of course at the moment there’s 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 is absolutely incredible. We wanted it all, but now it’s OK.

“[Finishing second] is the story of my life. I’m still record holder for not getting promoted in Germany with the highest points tally. You need to get more points than any other teams, but 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 absolutely special. We’ll build a team again and go again.”

On Thiago’s injury: “I think he’ll be out of the final but I don’t know. He’s limping, so it’s maybe not the best sign.”
