Jurgen Klopp ‘Proud’ Of Liverpool’s Season

Jurgen Klopp ‘Proud’ Of Liverpool’s Season

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has insisted he is proud of his team’s overall performance in the 2020-2021 season, especially in their last ten games.

Klopp says he is content with the Reds securing a place in next season’s Champions League as they finished third on the Premier League table.

Having comfortably won the 2019/2020 league title, Liverpool were expected to mount another challenge for the biggest prize in English football.

But it was not the case as they suffered a lot of injuries throughout the season, losing key players like Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.

After occupying the top spot right into the festive season, their bid to retain the title took a nose dive, and had to spend majority of the second half of the season out of the top four.

Liverpool leapfrogged both Chelsea and Leicester City to finish third behind Manchester United and champions Manchester City.

Speaking after the Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on the final day, Klopp was asked about the weather condition in his side’s victory.

"Perfect. It was windy like crazy. It's not good for football,” he told Sky Sports.

"We found a way into the game, scored a great goal. Do you take more risk, or control even more? The second goal was so helpful. I didn't know about other matches.

"I'm so proud of what they've done the last 10 or 15 games and the reaction of the team in bad times. Eight wins out of 10, two draws, that's impressive.

"Energy makes all the difference and we got a lot of energy from outside (the fans).

"It was not our year for the championship. I'm really happy with third place."
