Klopp: Reviving Liverpool prestige bigger than any trophy

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says progress this season means more than any trophy.

As they enter the final weekend of the Premier League season with 94 points and still a chance of becoming champions, with a place in the Champions' League final secured for a second successive season, Klopp believes he has restored the club's reputation, no matter what happens on Sunday.

"This season has been a year full of wonderful moments, wonderful moments altogether. Looking forward to games, enjoying games and last Tuesday was like the icing on the cake so far," he explained.

“Wow. That's exactly the picture we want to draw for the outside world - this is Liverpool. (It says) It's possible here, it's possible in this club and in this city with the people around. That's the picture.

“If you struggle in a game, they hit the post and the bar but you win it, that's good for looking back and saying 'that year we won it and oh we were lucky'. It's a nice story but it doesn't help with development.

“That's why it is worth more than silverware - develop as far and as high as possible so it gets more and more likely that you win silverware and that's what we've done so far."
