Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has praised the close bond enjoyed by his Champions League-chasing squad.

The Reds are coming to the end of a positive 2017/18 campaign. A draw against Brighton on Sunday when the Premier League winds up will see them qualify for Europe’s elite club competition once again, while they then have May 26’s showdown with Real Madrid to then plan for.

Their German manager has claimed teamwork and strong morale has played a big role in this success.
