Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp, appears to have accepted the prospect of participating in the Europa League after a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on May 20. This result puts Liverpool's chances of qualifying for the Champions League in jeopardy, as both Manchester United and Newcastle have a game in hand and need just a point to secure their top-four positions. Roberto Firmino, in his final home game as a Liverpool player, came off the bench and scored the crucial equalizer. If Liverpool fails to secure a Champions League spot this week, it will be their first time competing in the Europa League in eight years. Over the past five seasons, Liverpool has consistently participated in the Champions League, reaching the final three times and winning the trophy once. Klopp expressed his determination to make the most of the Europa League, stating that they will make it their competition and emphasizing the difficulty of securing qualification given the strong competition. He acknowledged that achieving Europa League qualification was a significant accomplishment considering how far away they were from even being in contention for the Champions League. Klopp's focus now lies on the Europa League, and he expressed his eagerness to see what Liverpool can achieve in the competition.
