'The pressure is off': Jurgen Klopp insists he is 'very happy' over top-4 finish

"I take that, I felt exactly the same last night. I was really happy," Jurgen Klopp told a press conference when congratulated on Liverpool securing a place in the Champions League for the next season.

"So, most importantly, you see just how it goes. We speak today about qualifying. After last season we speak today three games before the end of the season about qualifying for the Champions League.

"It is an achievement. Does it feel to everybody like that? Maybe not [but] to me it does."

He added: "I know mathematically there's still a chance [of winning the title]... or if you expect me to say it's not over yet; it is not over yet, I know that, but it looks like [it].

"The pressure is off now. That's done. That would be really cool if we could play really, really good football again."

Liverpool have secured a place in the top four after fifth-placed Tottenham were beaten at Chelsea.

The Reds are returning to the biggest European competition after a one-year absence. It will be a different tournament, though, with 36 teams and no group stage as we've known it.
