Raphael Varane confirms Manchester United departure as INEOS starts squad shakeup
Manchester United defender Raphael Varane has confirmed that he will be leaving the club after three injury-ravaged years at the Premier League club.
Early in the match, Liverpool took the lead in a somewhat fortunate fashion when Harvey Elliott’s cross was deflected by Pau Torres, leading to an own goal by Martinez — a moment that set the tone for an unpredictable afternoon.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Klopp reflected on the season and the character of his team.
"From where we came from (third place) is a statement as well. For me, the story of the season is that the boys have really, really good character and a sensational attitude that's why we were here today and that's why we have now 79 points.
I am not over the moon about it but obviously for a week or two we've had to accept we cannot be the best or the second-best team in the league, (but) that's a good basis for the future and that's all you can ask for."Klopp said.
