The chances of Liverpool qualifying for the Champions League next season are virtually zero, but finishing in the top six would get them a place in next season’s Europa League.
A win against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday could see them leapfrog Aston Villa into sixth if they don’t win at Man Utd earlier in the day.
“We take what we get, that’s how it is. It’s not that we started the season and said if we qualify for the Europa League it would be fantastic but the season taught us a few things,” Jurgen Klopp told reporters. “That’s absolutely fine. If it’s Europa League then it’s Europa League, absolutely fine.
“I want to play the best possible football and if we get nothing for that at the end of the season then we created that situation earlier in this year.
“But this part of the season we have to use or we have to be just really focused on the game coming up, that’s in this moment Tottenham – try to win it, try to play in a convincing way, try to be uncomfortable to play against, all these kinds of things.
“Whatever happens until the end of the season, these last seven, eight, nine, 10 weeks then will be very important as well for the next season.”
