Jurgen Klopp Understands Financial Implications If Liverpool Miss Out On Champions League Qualification
The Reds face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday knowing only a victory will keep their fading top-four hopes alive.
Jurgen Klopp admits failure to qualify for the Champions League would have ‘massive’ financial implications for Liverpool as they face a make-or-break clash with Manchester United this weekend.
The Reds know a defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday would effectively end their fading hopes of securing a top-four finish in the Premier League, with Klopp’s side sitting sixth, four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with just five fixtures remaining.
This week Liverpool announced pre-tax losses of £46 million ($64m) as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic starts to become clear, and Klopp knows that missing out on Champions League revenue would do little to help that situation.
