Managers Reaction
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: “The boys have played an incredible season. The whole journey. It’s absolutely exceptional. The game today said so much about these boys. We conceded an early goal which gave us a knock. We didn’t play football like we usually play. We had to take Thiago off early. And then you still find a way, it’s outstanding. Ninety-two points are crazy. It was clear before the game a lot of things had to happen [for Liverpool to win the title]. Congratulations to Man City, Pep Guardiola, and their players. We were close but in the end not close enough.”
Wolves boss Bruno Lage: “I’m proud of them. It was a big opportunity to live a good moment. We didn’t have a target and it was one more test. We showed personality with the ball. When you look back all the little things that happen in the season happened today: players have to come [off], we start winning the game, we have chances to score more goals and in the end, we lose it. We give the image we need to be more consistent.”
