Jurgen Klopp: "It is a massive blow. It is not done yet, but we don't have to talk about if you lose that many games, you don't have the right to go to the Champions League. We have to win football games and we know that and we will work on it, but for tonight, it was not enough"

Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea is a "massive blow" to his side's hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four.
Mason Mount's first-half strike proved to be the difference as Chelsea inflicted a fifth straight home defeat on Liverpool for the first time in the club's history.
Victory moves Thomas Tuchel's side up to fourth and Klopp's side, who are now four points adrift of that with Everton and West Ham ahead of them, now they face a huge battle to qualify for next season's Champions League.
"It is a massive blow," Klopp told Sky Sports.
"It is not done yet, but we don't have to talk about if you lose that many games, you don't have the right to go to the Champions League.
