Saturday’s 2-2 draw with West Ham, coupled with victories for Manchester City and Arsenal, means any realistic hope of a second Premier League title is effectively over.

And yet these past couple of weeks have meant that Klopp has ended his time at Liverpool with the sort of season that has been characteristic of his career.



He has always had at least one far better-resourced opponent to struggle with, and yet at the same time he has narrowly missed the prize remarkably often.

With Liverpool he won the Champions League but also lost in three European finals.

He ended the league title drought but also finished second twice; this season is likely to be his second third-place finish.

He won the Pokal once but twice lost in the final and also lost in the Champions League final.

But equally it is a telling flaw that Klopp has faltered near the line so often: it’s one thing to be defeated at the last by Bayern or Real Madrid or City, another to have lost out to Eintracht Frankfurt, Wolfsburg or Sevilla.

There are those for whom his record of one Champions League and one Premier League feels a little meagre, but context is essential.
