Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Sunday’s 4-2 win at home to Tottenham: “It was a really good game – I liked it a lot. It was a good game. What we needed, what we wanted, what the people deserved to see.
“We spoke about why we didn’t make it in these three/four weeks before that happened for different reasons but that’s how it is and if you are 100% honest. Is that the season where we were the best team in the league? We had our moments, we played our best game in our history against Man City but didn’t win it. It’s always small margins in these kind of games that can open up something.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Monday’s opponents Aston Villa: “It’s the last home game of the season for Aston Villa. They want to have a good last home game because they have had an incredible season. They have qualified, pretty likely, for the Champions League, which is a big one. This year Conference League, next year Champions League. An incredible job, but we will give it a try there definitely.”
On Villa manager Unai Emery: “Incredible job. Unai Emery is one of the best we have in the business, 100 percent, Wherever he is, success, sometimes the clubs were not ready to wait for it maybe. If you look back maybe these clubs would have made different decisions.
“I’ve known him for so long. I think when I met him for the first time he was managing in Moscow, if I’m right. That’s really long ago.
“He always had a clear idea. It was really tricky for us when we faced him with Villarreal. Always organised the team extremely well.
“The job he is doing is absolutely exceptional and we know how important it is for a club to qualify for the Champions League, how difficult it is for a club to qualify for the Champions League. He probably, very likely, will do that – it’s absolutely exceptional.”
