They mocked Liverpool for playing in Europa League, Jurgen Klopp's surprising response

Liverpool FC failed to achieve one of its major objectives so far this season. The Anfield side missed out on qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, but in the end finished fifth in the league, which gives them direct access to the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.

Jurgen Klopp's team had a terrible start to the season, where they certainly dropped a lot of points that ended up costing them in the end. The English team finally managed to string together an important run to try to finish in a better position in the general table, but their direct rivals for the Champions League place did not give in.

Given this situation, Liverpool FC will have to settle for playing UEFA Europa League soccer next season and this has unleashed derision in a large sector of the fans of the team's rivals. Because for a club like Liverpool, playing Europa League football is not a pleasant option.

After recent taunts from rival players, Jurgen Klopp finally responded to all his haters ahead of next season. The manager broke his silence after the team's latest qualification to the next Europa League, which for many is laughable for a club like Anfield.

What was Klopp's response to Liverpool's haters?

When asked at a press conference about his thoughts on playing in the upcoming UEFA Europa League, Jurgen Klopp took it with humor and assured that a European competition is still a European competition. On the other hand, he did not hesitate to assure that Liverpool will compete for the trophy and try to add it to their trophy cabinet. It should be recalled that Klopp has lost three European finals with the Anfield side, but emerged victorious in one.
