Jurgen Klopp has challenged Liverpool to use the pain of their failed Premier League title bid as fuel to finish a remarkable season with Champions League glory .



Liverpool fell one point short of winning their first league title since 1990 as Manchester City pipped Klopp ’s side on the final day of the season .
Liverpool ’s 2 - 0 win over Wolves was rendered irrelevant by City’s 4 - 1 victory at Brighton , leaving the Anfield faithful frustrated after it briefly appeared they might witness two football miracles in the space of a week .

Tuesday ’s astonishing 4- 0 win against Barcelona , which overturned a 3 - 0 first - leg deficit and sent Liverpool to their second successive Champions League final, was one of the greatest nights in the club’s history.

And when Sadio Mane put Liverpool ahead early on against Wolves and City fell behind to Glenn Murray ’s goal , another unthinkable dream was about to become reality .

That tantalising moment lasted only a matter of seconds , however , as Sergio Aguero equalised for City , who went onto shatter Liverpool ’s hopes with a ruthless goal - spree .

It was cruel on Liverpool , who secured 30 wins and 97 points , setting a standard that would have secured the title in any year but the last two, with Pep Guardiola ’s sensational City amassing 100 points 12 months ago and 98 this term.

Yet Klopp insists his players won’t dwell on their agonising near- miss for long because they have a chance for redemption in the Champions League final against Tottenham in Madrid on June 1 .
