Press conferenceJürgen Klopp: It's the most exciting time of my career

Liverpool have lifted two trophies this season, having secured both Emirates FA Cup and Carabao Cup glory at Wembley in recent months.

Klopp's squad remain in the hunt for the Premier League title ahead of Sunday's final-day hosting of Wolverhampton Wanderers, sitting one point behind leaders Manchester City, who face Aston Villa.

The Reds have also secured a place in the Champions League showpiece in Paris next week against Real Madrid in their quest for European glory.

The boss believes the current trophy hunt on Merseyside is one of the best periods he has enjoyed in the game.

"Definitely, definitely. Absolutely," he said in the third part of his pre-match press conference.

"I was lucky enough to have a few exciting times. If you ask my Mrs, she will tell you: 'Why always until the last matchday?' Because that happens incredibly often.

"But, yes, it's the most exciting, definitely, being where we are, seeing how good the boys are and seeing the steps we make and then two games to go - it's only one now I know - but two games to go is unbelievable.

"It feels like five minutes ago it was seven games, that's how it is. It's just like this; bam and here we go.

"Two finals, now really, two finals. We played finals since ages, but now really two finals. It's massive, it's absolutely massive and, yes, it's the most exciting time of my career."

Read on below for the rest of what the boss had to say to journalists at the AXA Training Centre…

On whether he can see anyone challenging Liverpool and Manchester City in the near future...

Yeah, we play Chelsea and I see that. In the final, where was the advantage? I was over the moon about our first half an hour against Chelsea, because it was the best half an hour we ever played against them, [it's] so incredibly difficult. So, we all learn and we see how the squads will look next here, and all these kinds of things. But you know Erik ten Hag is arriving at United and they don't wait now five years, or whatever. They will go big and these kinds of things. You have Tottenham, obviously, Antonio Conte is very, very ambitious. They have already a good team, if they play two competitions they maybe need a few more players, they will bring them in and then that's it.

It's not about that, nobody has to worry that the gap will stay forever, or whatever. It was [the] hardest work to get here. So, if we put the foot a little bit off the gas then immediately there's no 16 or 15 points, or whatever it is in the moment, then immediately it's three points and three points are nothing. So, it's all about us to make sure we can be as good as possible and about the rest we don't have a real influence on. Again, we have a talented group and we will have a talented group next year, but we have to make a proper, proper machine of it again and then we go and then we will see.

On his 'enjoy the journey' approach and whether it is something he learned at Mainz...

I knew it that time already. I'm not sure I said it at that time, but I thought it. The year, obviously, [is] 365 days, and 364 - it was at Mainz like this - 364 [days] were better than ever before in our lives as footballers, and the last one was particularly bad. It's about us to judge what we make of that and I always made of it: 'So, OK, let's give it a try and make 365 of it.' That's how it is. But for that you need the other 364 as well, and that's what we always did. In Mainz life gave me another knock because we didn't get promoted for a point, then for a goal. So, it was a real test. And then we got promoted and things work out if you stay on track, if you stay in the right mood and that's what we will be, so I learned it early and that's the only way I can do it actually. I enjoy the journey a lot and everybody who wants to do that as well is invited and if not, then I cannot change that.
