Klopp accepts Man City’s financial might will be hard to beat

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has acknowledged that it will be difficult to pass Manchester City next season because of the “financial power” enjoyed at Etihad Stadium.

Yet Klopp is determined to ensure that his team, who he described as “one of the best who have ever played for Liverpool”, will challenge City next season in a bid to end a wait for the English title stretching back to 1990.
