Reds boss. “Nothing that happens around us is important.

“After the City game it was just a case of, ‘Stay in the situation, completely focused and obviously we can win football games’.

“The boys proved that this season already a lot and that’s what we have to do until the end of the season. That’s all.” Klopp, who twice guided Borussia Dortmund to the title in Germany (left), recalled the time they were chased by Bayern Munich in 2012.

“It is was a bit easier because we played, for example, Bayern pretty late in the season,” said the German.

“We were six or three points up and everyone was asking whether it was the decisive game. We won it 1-0 and they missed a penalty.

“It can’t be more spectacular a game like that and a week later we played Schalke, another big game, and people always want to know, ‘What now, if you win?’

“We have to play football, we can’t change anything. As long as you can be focused on yourself everything’s fine. You’ve no influence over what other teams are doing. If you play them, prepare for them. If you don’t, ignore them.”
