“We lost a game which I think was impossible to lose but we did it, and that’s my fault. We can't imagine the title race at the moment.

Klopp and his wards are now six points off leaders Manchester United down in fourth with Spurs and Everton both able to go above them if they win their games in hand.

The Dutchman will run out of contract with the Premier League defending champions at the end of this season and all effort to persuade him to extend his reign at Anfield look impossible.

As it stands now, the 30-year-old has the liberty to negotiate with any club interested in his services when he leaves Anfield this summer.

Despite helping the Reds to Champions League and Premier League triumphs in successive seasons, Wijnaldum has his eyes set on joining the Catalans and reunited with his former national team boss Ronald Koeman.

Former Newcastle United player appears to have finished his assignment with the Merseyside outfit and will end his five-year reign at the club in favour of the move to Camp Nou.
