Jurgen Klopp took a last, long look at the Bernabeu stadium, and insisted: “It’s imperative we’re back here next season”.
The Liverpool boss made no excuses as his side crashed out of the Champions League with their worst ever aggregate defeat in Europe, after a 1-0 defeat in the home of Real Madrid confirmed their dominance.
But Klopp believes that his club belongs in the top tier of European competition, and he challenged his players to respond with the fight to get back into the Premier League top four, and give themselves the chance of appearing on the biggest stage once more.
