Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool’s season should still be seen as a success if they finish in the Premier League’s top four to secure a Champions League place.

The Reds’ hopes in Europe this year were brought to an end by Real Madrid on Wednesday night, while their title defence was undone by a run of six defeats in seven during February and March.
