Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp couldn't believe his ears when a reporter asked whether finishing fifth in the Premier League is a "booby prize".
The Reds will play in the Europa League next season after finishing behind champions Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle in the Premier League. It'll be their first campaign without Champions League football in seven years.
Playing in the Europa League is sometimes viewed as a hindrance due to games being played on a Thursday, but Klopp doesn't see it that way. The Liverpool boss believes it's a "massive prize" to win and wants to reach the final in Dublin in 12 months' time.
