'With all the things we know' - Jurgen Klopp makes Man City admission after 'really harsh' Champions League exit

Jurgen Klopp has hailed Real Madrid as favourites for this year's Champions League final against Liverpool, and doesn't think Man City's European exit will affect their Premier League title challenge.

Pep Guardiola's side currently sit a point clear ahead of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table with four games left to play, with the title now the only trophy they can win this season following their collapse at the Bernabeu in midweek. City had been 5-3 ahead on aggregate in the 90th minute, only for a last-minute Rodrygo brace to force extra-time with Karim Benzema scoring the winner to set up a final clash with the Reds in Paris.

And Klopp isn't expecting City to suffer any hangover when they return to league action at home to Newcastle United on Sunday, with Liverpool still needing the reigning champions to drop points if they are to stand any chance of winning the title.
