Liverpool boss Klopp: We're capable of hauling in Man City next season

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they're capable of hauling in runaway Premier League champions Manchester City next season.

Liverpool have shown Pep Guardiola's side are not unstoppable by outplaying them in the Champions League quarter-final and finally exposing a weakness.

Klopp, who has won three of this season's four head-to-head meetings with the Mancunian Blues, said: “Of course I don't fear the challenge.

"This year, if City plays a normal season, which they didn't do, then it would be really close until the end because we are now all close together.

“All the big six pretty much delivered this year, but City delivered the best. We will see. It is always possible that it is closer.

"But are they able to dominate? They don't have a limit, they don't have a limit to spending and all that stuff so I don't know.

“I do know it's difficult to deal with success as it is difficult to deal with other things in football but I'm pretty sure they will be strong again.

“It doesn't make life easier but it's not impossible to step a little bit higher."
