Jurgen Klopp says it is 'almost impossible' for Liverpool to finish in the top four this season, as the Reds boss warned of 'huge financial losses' after lamenting 'insane mistakes' for costing them in the hotly-contested race.
Liverpool have made a pitiful attempt of defending their domestic crown this season, with injuries and an uncharacteristically blunt attack seeing the Premier League champions fall to sixth in the table.
The Reds are currently five points adrift of Thomas Tuchel's resurgent Chelsea in fourth and face strong competition from West Ham, Everton and Spurs in challenging for qualification into European football's elite competition.
