Klopp's Liverpool will be targetting a place in the Europa League final in Dulbin next May Liverpool will approach the Europa League in the "right manner" and have the squad depth to be successful in both the Premier League and Europe's second-tier competition, manager Juergen Klopp said. Six-time European champions Liverpool have missed out on the Champions League for the first time since Klopp's first full season in 2016-17. They reached the final of the 2016 Europa League under the German and he said reaching the title decider was the target once again.
Liverpool kick off their Europa campaign with a trip to Austria's LASK on Thursday before hosting West Ham United in the league on Sunday. Klopp said that while the talent coming through Liverpool's academy means the "future's bright" for the club, he would not use the Europa League as a proving ground for young players. "We have real talent there, but it is not experimental," he added.
