‘We will come again’ – Klopp issues warning to Manchester City for next season

Jurgen Klopp is confident Liverpool will again challenge Manchester City for the Premier League next season after just missing out on a first title in 29 years.A 2-0 win over Wolves courtesy of two goals from Sadio Mane was ultimately not enough as Citys 4-1 win at Brighton ensured Pep Guardiolas side finished just ahead of the Reds by a point.While Klopp said he cannot promise the competition will be as intense and relentless as this season, he is looking forward to another battle with City.Thank you @ManCity Thank you @LFC A #PL title race we will always remember pic.twitter.com/S26N27I0Rj Premier League (@premierleague) May 12, 2019As long as City are around with the quality they have and the financial power and all that stuff, its not that any other team will pass them easily. Thats clear, he said.As long as this is the case we need to be very close to perfection to win the Premier League.I dont say we will have 97 points next year or whatever, maybe thats not needed, I dont know. We will come again."We used the base from last year but made a big step, unbelievable, and theres still a bit to come."The boss. Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 12, 2019We made unbelievably big steps and I really expect more to come, thats the truth.Theres a lot to come, a lot of years, its all about you and what you do with it, and thats what we do with it.People will tell us its 30 years or whatever (since Liverpool won the league) but other clubs have bigger problems, to be honest.Klopp consoles Mohamed Salah after Liverpool miss out on the Premier League title. (Peter Byrne/PA)This team tried it the first time, and I really think they did it quite impressively for a first time.This team is not a finished article. We will go again, 100 per cent.Liverpool finished with the third-highest points tally in top-flight history with 97, bettered only by Citys 98 this season and 100 in the previous campaign.They also lost just one league match crucially at City in January had two of the Premier Leagues three joint-top scorers in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, while goalkeeper Alisson Becker claimed the Golden Glove for 21 clean sheets, one better than City counterpart Ederson.21 clean sheetsA worthy winner of the @CadburyUK Golden Glove congratulations @Alissonbecker! pic.twitter.com/nuITfo7Chg Premier League (@premierleague) May 12, 2019Still that was not enough to get them over the line but Klopp is hugely encouraged by what he has seen.It was an unbelievable season. I can read all the stats, I can read all the numbers, its just really exceptional, added the Reds boss.My thing is if you would get an award for the biggest development jump I can remember, then the boys would get that.We used the base from last year, but we have made a big step. Unbelievable and there is more to come.If we are ready to make the next step, we will make the next step. Thats the plan from tomorrow on.This team has done us proud. Our @premierleague campaign might be over but we're not finished yet. We've shared plenty of special moments together this season. One game remains. See you in Madrid Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 12, 2019Klopp will now turn his attention to the Champions League final against Tottenham on June 1.To be on this road and also qualify for the Champions League final, its pretty special, he added.This team is one of the best to have ever played for Liverpool 100 per cent.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
