Newly-crowned Premier League champions Liverpool were tamed at Manchester as they were thrashed 4-0 by Pep Guardiola’s men.
This is the first time the Reds have lost by a bigger margin in the Premier League since their 5-0 defeat in this fixture in September 2017.
Klopp was speaking to the media after the game and he insisted he saw a ‘brilliant attitude’ from his men despite playing in a game after being crowned champions.
“Is the game important to us? I saw a brilliant attitude,” the former Borussia Dortmund boss told Sky Sports.
"They were quicker than us in mind. We lacked fluidity. Against Man City you have massive problems.”
"We had our moments. We had chances, we didn't use them. The result we have to take.
"If you want to lead this story in direction we were not focused, then do it. I liked my teams attitude, you ask again.”
“Isn't it nice another team can be champions when Man City can play so well.”
"Man City are incredible. I saw their season, they didn't play a bad game."
Next up for Liverpool is a Premier League game against relegation-threatened Aston Villa at Anfield on Sunday.
