"Fire in our belly" - Jurgen Klopp and Kyle Walker agree on Man City and Liverpool exits from Europe

Jurgen Klopp vowed to 'throw everything' at the Premier League after watching his Liverpool side crash out of the Europa League to leave the title as his only shot at a farewell trophy.

Klopp already has the Carabao Cup this season after announcing that he will depart Anfield at the end of the campaign, but was hoping to sign off with four trophies with Liverpool looking strong at the start of 2024, especially after their Carabao Cup triumph. However, a manic FA Cup exit at Manchester United and now a 3-1 aggregate defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League quarter finals means that the Premier League is the only shot Klopp has left.

However, defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend saw Liverpool drop two points behind City in the title race, giving them an uphill battle as Arsenal also try to rescue their season. The Gunners are level with Liverpool after defeat of their own last time out, and a disappointing Champions League exit at Bayern Munich leaves the league as their only chance of a trophy this term.

"Atalanta deserved to go through and that's fine and we can now focus on the league. That's exactly what we'll do from now," Klopp vowed in Italy.

“Let's put a line under this competition, we would've wished to go to Dublin [for the final]. That didn't happen, and now we have one competition left and we throw everything we have into that.”

Klopp's vow echoes City captain Kyle Walker's comments after City were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by Real Madrid. With an FA Cup semi-final
