Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits finishing third in the Premier League was “barely possible” a month ago.

An unbeaten 10-match run, the eighth win of which was secured with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace thanks to a double from Sadio Mane, not only secured Champions League football but lifted the Reds above Chelsea.
