Jurgen Klopp predicts how Man City’s champions league exit will impact the Premier League title race

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes that Manchester City’s Champions League exit to Real Madrid is a “massive blow” ahead of the Premier League race.

Manchester City are currently at the top of the premier league table with just a point ahead of Liverpool with four matches to go.

The reds return to Premier League action with a 5-2 aggregate win over Villarreal, while City will be looking to bounce back after a dramatic semi-final exit in Madrid.

Asked if it will have an adverse reaction or make them more focused, he said:

“With all the things we know about City I would rather say the second, because they are too good.

“It was a massive blow, everyone was ready to switch the television off and then all of a sudden the second part started and that was really harsh I can imagine.

“City are good. It was a massive blow for them, that was really harsh. I’ve had nights like that, it’s not cool, the next morning, not cool, but then there’s a moment you have to focus. They will be ready for Newcastle on Sunday.”

“When we lost that final, my favourite solution would have been to play the final again next year and it’s against Real Madrid,” the German said.

“That was in that moment. We faced Tottenham in Madrid. Madrid seems to be our destiny.

“It was strange and unlucky for City but what Madrid was outstanding. They got through against PSG, against Chelsea and against Man City.

“We said before when we played Villarreal, if you knock out Juventus and Bayern, you deserve to be in the semi-finals.

“If you knock out these three guys, you definitely deserve to be in the final.”
