'Man City are the best team in the world'- Klopp rates Liverpool squad behind Premier League rivals

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are not the best team in Europe despite their Champions League success last season, as he believes rivals Manchester City are the best team on the planet.

Klopp’s side became European champions for a sixth time courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Tottenham in June, 12 months on from their agonising defeat to Real Madrid in the 2018 final. Manchester City in contrast have not gone beyond the quarter-finals for the past four seasons.

The situation is different domestically, with Pep Guardiola’s side winning back-to-back Premier League titles including a domestic treble last time out.
