Liverpool lost to Leicester City in round 24 of the English Premier League football by 3-1.
The German coach admitted Liverpool lost the Premier League title, adding: “I can’t believe we will come out of league competition but it’s the truth.”
Klopp confirmed that Liverpool played 75 perfect minutes, but it turned into disaster after that, according to UK newspaper “Daily Star”.
He added: “There were a lot of mistakes and we have to fill in the gaps that have emerged in this game in the next few games.
Liverpool appeared modestly in the game, and although they controlled the game after advancing with a goal scored by Mohamed Salah, Klopp’s side fell apart and conceded three goals in seven minutes towards the end.
James Madison, Jimmy Vardy and Harvey Barnes scored to lose defending champions Liverpool in three consecutive league games, for the first time since November 2014, when he was coached by current Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers .
With Manchester United linked with Sunday’s game, Leicester jumped to second place while Liverpool remained fourth, 13 points behind Manchester City, although the reigning champions played one more game.
Liverpool had to change their defensive line due to Fabinho’s injury, and Ozan OPAC, who joined around two weeks ago, has participated for the first time.
The 20-year-old Turkish defender hesitated in the first half to allow Fardi to be on target, but the Leicester forward hit the crossbar.
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold hit a free kick into the goal post just after the break, before Salah opened the scoring after a superb pass from Roberto Firmino in the 68th minute.
After the video assistant referee canceled a penalty for the home side, Madison took a free kick into the goal, and the referee initially canceled the goal due to offside before stepping back after a new intervention by the referee.
Alison then caused another defeat, as the Brazilian keeper advanced from his goal to meet a high ball, but collided with his colleague Capac, to reach the ball to Vardy in front of the empty goal in the 81st minute.
Barnes decided Leicester City win after four minutes to continue Liverpool’s suffering and move away from the title fight, having won just twice in the last ten league games.
Commenting on Alison’s performance, Klopp explained, “The second goal came from a misunderstanding. Alison had a great game, then at that point he came on and I didn’t hear him scream.”
He added: “On the pitch we were the clearly dominant team. We created chances and conceded two successive goals afterwards,” according to “Reuters”.
