Klopp doesn’t need a Liverpool trophy this season – Barnes

Jurgen Klopp is under no pressure to win a trophy for Liverpool this season, according to club legend John Barnes.

The Reds were runners-up in the Champions League final last term but finished a distant 25 points behind Manchester City in the Premier League.

Barnes, a member of the Liverpool squad that last won the English title in 1990 and playmaker of international repute, has said he would rather see the gap to Pep Guardiola’s men close than the team pick up a minor trophy.
