Top spot not crucial for Klopp

Jurgen Klopp played down the importance of Liverpool finishing top of Group B in the Europa League.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is unfazed by whether his side tops its Europa League group, pleased to have progressed on Thursday.

The Premier League side secured progression from Group B with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Bordeaux at Anfield.

Top spot will be up for grabs when Liverpool visits Switzerland to take on Sion on matchday six, but Klopp said it mattered little.

"I'm very happy we qualified," he told a news conference. "As I told you when I came here, when I watched football from the German side, I thought the Europa League for English clubs is maybe not the most fun tournament.
