Jurgen Klopp sounded a warning to Liverpool Premier League rivals when he insisted: “My boys are not the finished article yet.”

The Reds currently have a 25-point lead at the top of English football, leaving them just six from winning a first league title in 30 years.

With nine Premier League matches to negotiate this period, that triumph is expected to follow after a year in which Klopp’s team won the Champions League, Super Cup and the first Liverpool Club World Cup, which secured in Qatar in December.

Despite the dominant 12 months for the Reds, a league title so far has eluded them with reigning European champions finishing one point behind Manchester City last period at 97.

Klopp says his team’s mindset will not change if they continue to lift the No.19 league title and he believes his team can still improve next season.

He told Sky Sports: “We will not change, but others also have opportunities to improve, I have no idea what the future holds, but my children are not the finished article yet.”

“We have a lot of room to train. We have fresh blood internally and we can mix a lot of things. We can improve with this team that is really great.”

“Life is a constant challenge and we realize that right now because we have never faced a challenge like this [in coronavirus]”

Klopp also attributed the final defeat of the 2018 Champions League to Real Madrid as the catalyst for his team’s progress in the past two years.

The 52-year-old said that his team’s confidence was built upon arrival at the Kiev masterpiece and he believes it gave them the true belief that the game’s biggest trophies could be returned to Anfield.

“Losing a Champions League final now seems like a joke right now,” added Klopp.

“It is really hard, but we went again [in 2018/19] And I didn’t win the league by a single point or 11mm and that could be difficult, but we always saw it that way.

“The only way to get something is to give everything. Guaranteed. My team is always ready to give everything, try again and again.”

“We have possible scenarios, you win the final or you lose the final. You lose, it is still a wonderful experience going there because you have to win the quarters, the semifinals, the last 16 group stages.”

“You trust to do it and that is what we take from the final defeat against Real Madrid.”

“This was a weird final. It says nothing about the boys, nothing at all. The only thing we realized was that we are good enough to cause problems for all the teams.”

Liverpool’s wait to end three decades without a league championship continues, with no definitive indication of when world-class football will return in England due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Klopp says he has spoken to some of the German soccer authorities and is hopeful that England can follow a nation that has already allowed clubs to resume training.

But the Reds boss said Liverpool will continue to be guided by the rules and regulations of the blockade imposed by the UK government.

“This season is now the end of April and we haven’t started yet, but every time we can play again we won’t give up,” added Klopp.

“Right now, when he lets himself focus on football again, we will do it again and it will start.”

“We will do everything possible. We will see. In other leagues they start step by step, so it seems that we see in England.”

“In Germany, I know everyone, I am still in contact and waiting for some things. The closure, some stores are open and Germany is ahead at this time of the virus crisis.”

“They are optimistic, they will start in mid-May, so we will see. Spain wants the teams to train again, I am not sure if that is true or not, but we will see when it will start here.”

“In England, I have no connection with these people, so we know what we want and what we want is for everyone to be safe and healthy.

“The moment it is possible to train, we will do it again, of course.

“We are at home, isolating, with no cases and if we can train in groups of two or four or eight, however they do in Germany, we will do it with respect to the rules.”

“I am not sure when it is possible, we will wait for the government, the news and events, we will not force it.”

“If football can help cheer up some departments and give people something to think about and deal with, then we have to start training, but I don’t know when that will be.”
