Jurgen Klopp has admitted Liverpool have not deserved to qualify for next season’s Champions League after their slim hopes of finishing in the top four were all but ended by Aston Villa.
Roberto Firmino scored a last-minute equaliser in his final appearance as a Reds player to earn Klopp’s men a share of the spoils and to keep their hopes mathematically alive. However, Liverpool required either Newcastle United or Manchester United to lose both their final two matches of the campaign, while winning their own final match of the season away at Southampton.
Speaking after his side’s draw with Villa, Klopp admitted he is already looking forward to next season when he conceded the Reds hadn’t deserved to finish in the top four.
