Jurgen Klopp admitted his Liverpool side have "failed" this season as he responded to Mo Salah's emotional message to Liverpool fans.
After six consecutive top-four finishes, including their 2019/20 Premier League title win, the Reds are now confined to a fifth placed finish after Manchester United's win over Chelsea on Thursday. It means a Europa League campaign next season for Klopp and co, and moments after the final whistle gone at Old Trafford Salah took to Twitter to underline his disappointment.
"I’m totally devastated," he wrote. "There’s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year’s Champions League and we failed. We are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum. I am sorry but it’s too soon for an uplifting or optimistic post. We let you and ourselves down."
