Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has insisted that they will continue to push Man City and challenge for the Premier League next season.
In an interview with the club’s official website, Lovren has said that Liverpool will fight Man City all the way for the league again next season.
When you look back on the last three years, it was every season improvement. When Klopp came, every year we did better and better. Last season we did quite well, we had quite a lot of injuries and reached the final of the Champions League.
This year, with the new players, we reached second place with 97 points, it’s incredible. And again the final of the Champions League so definitely we are again one of the contenders for next year to do something great. With this team, we can only improve.
Liverpool have fought for all they are worth in the race for the Premier League this season and it shows how far they have come in such a small space of time that they have managed to keep it so close at the top.
If it was not for Man City’s brilliance, any other season Liverpool would have won the league comfortably. Their 97 points total is the highest ever recorded by a team finishing second.
Despite this Liverpool fell short by just one point. But they have the chance to redeem themselves and earn some silverware in the Champions League final.
After miraculously coming back against Barcelona in the semi-final, Liverpool face English rivals Tottenham in the final on 1 June.
