Jurgen Klopp praised the achievement of Liverpool making the Champions League on the final day of the season, with his side finishing in third place in the Premier League.

“This is big," said Klopp after Sunday's game. "If someone had told me five or six weeks ago that we would finish the season in third, I would have said it was impossible. It was absolutely out of reach. But the good thing this year is how we responded when we didn’t feel good because too many things happened to us."

Klopp would then praise Liverpool's centerback pairing of Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams for stabilizing the team.

“Today they [Williams and Phillips] both get cut and we had to fight through. How they played is absolutely incredible. The steps they made this year were on a different level. To fight through all this and finish third is the best lesson you could learn for life. From nowhere to the Champions League in five weeks is a massive achievement," said Klopp.

Klopp also confirmed that Gini Wijnaldum would leave the side on a free transfer this summer.
