Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has praised new champions Liverpool.

Hasenhuttl knows Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp very well, the two doing their coaching badges together.

He said, "It wasn't really so surprising for me that it will happen this season because it was clear for a long time that they will be the champion this season. They have showed the most consistency.

"What was surprising for me yesterday was only the emotion I saw from Jurgen which makes him so special.

"'If somebody became the champion on the sofa, I think he will not be that emotional like he is. Maybe you can see how much effort he puts in this club and in this team.

"This is maybe the reason in such a moment why he is celebrating so much.

"Big congratulations from my side, he did an amazing job. What he did the last four years there is amazing."
