Liverpool manager Klopp: Top 4 finish will prove players' mental strength

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hailed the mental strength of the players for having a top four finish now within their grasp.

During their title-winning campaign last season Klopp frequently hailed his players as "mentality monsters".

"It is clear we wouldn't come to this situation if the boys wouldn't have showed this kind of character. They have very special character," he added.

"The boys proved it now millions of times, it's not about their mentality or character if something has gone wrong.

"Going through tough periods makes you stronger as a unit and in that time we didn't get distracted. Nothing came between us.

"Yes we had our moments, players were not in the best shape or the best mood. I was not in the best mood, but we always found a way to stick together.

"We never blamed each other or pointed a finger at each other and said, 'It is because of you or you'.

So whatever happens on Sunday, we found our way out to bring us to this situation."
