Jürgen Klopp watched his Liverpool team crash out of the Champions League at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday and insisted they must now get back into the competition – by coming through what he described as a “proper football week”.
Liverpool are six points behind Tottenham in fourth place in the Premier League and with any chance of silverware now gone they have only a Champions League spot to play for. “Our job is to squeeze absolutely everything out of this season,” Klopp said.
“It’s a strange one. Our recent two games were a sensational performance against Manchester United – which is a real good team – and then a really bad performance against Bournemouth, which is a good team as well, but we should not lose this kind of game.
“It put us then under more pressure. If we could have three points then everybody really could have felt, or smelled, our breath. But [instead] there is a distance again because other teams won their games.
“With the history we have in this competition, we start usually with the idea of winning it, to be honest. We reached the final a few times. We didn’t win the final that often, that’s true, but we were there three times in the last few years. It is the competition and we want to be part of it every year.
“That’s a massive task for us, we all know that. When we come back from the international break we have a proper football week ahead of us, with three games – City, Chelsea and Arsenal – which will then probably define what we get out of it.
“People might say we lost it in Bournemouth, but this week is a pretty decisive one, so we have to hope now the boys come back healthy, early enough, in the right shape.”

Klopp was thankful for Real Madrid’s decision to play You’ll Never Walk Alone at full-time. “We are two heavyweights who meet each other quite frequently in international football,” he said. “It’s clear that we respect each other a lot and whoever did it, that was a really nice gesture.”
