If the opponent was better, you can recognize it. Klopp had no problem doing so after City's 4-0 victory over the Reds.
"If there's one team in the world that can crush us like that, it's City," he said after the match. "They're amazing," he said.
Despite what the rankings say, Klopp believes there really isn't that much difference between the two. "If you look at the game again, you realise that the distance between us and City is not even close to the 20 points that are on the table right now," he said.
"The game served as a reminder of how good this City is. We didn't need it, we already knew that, but it was still a surprise. It's good that in a league with a team like City another team can be the champion," concluded Klopp.
