Klopp Wants Champions League Title To Salvage Liverpool Season

Klopp Wants Champions League Title To Salvage Liverpool Season

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is hoping to win this season’s Champions League in order to salvage his team’s season.

The Reds’ Premier League defense has taken a blow, having been left in the wake of runaway leaders Manchester City, but are much alive in the Champions League.

Liverpool have enjoyed enormous success in recent seasons under the tutelage of the former Borussia Dortmund head coach.

It first started with winning the Champions League at the expense of English rivals Tottenham Hotspur in 2019, and ending a 30-year wait for the Premier League title last season.

Liverpool were on track fighting to retain the most coveted trophy in England but a slump which began around the festive period has left Jurgen Klopp’s men sitting eighth on the Premier League table.

Liverpool knocked out RB Leipzig in the Champions League Round of 16 stage and Klopp was asked if his side can go all the way to secure the title in Europe.

“It would be a dream yeah, so why not? But we really are not in a situation thinking that. We are really happy beating Leipzig and going through to the quarter finals and in the last eight," the German told reporters when asked about his side's prospects in Europe.

“James Milner said to me it’s a fourth quarter final and five times in Europe since I was here so yeah, that's good.

“But we are not in a situation sitting here and telling already the fairytale of how it all could end.

“What we think, what we wish, what we dream and all those kind of things is completely different but being ready for Wolves is the only concern and the only thing I am busy with and using the positives of the Leipzig game which is very helpful.

“But then look, yes it is the last eight of the Champions League but the last eight are historically tricky.

“The other seven teams will be very good. It's not 100% who they all are yet but the few who are already in there and those who look likely they will be in, yes.

“There are no easy games but then in those games let’s give them a proper game yes, that is the plan whoever it is, definitely, that's the plan.

“But not today. It's in three or four weeks when the next round will be played but we have enough time until then and we try to use it as good as possible.”
