And Liverpool boss Klopp said: “It’s really unlikely that we will win all of our games – but let’s just go for it.

“Let’s try to win the next game and see how we can recover between now and then.

“People can talk about it, but it doesn’t make it more likely that you get the answer you want from me.

“I think a game like today shows even more how unlikely it is to do something like that.”

Liverpool surged into a 3-0 halftime lead against an under-strength City, thanks to Ibrahima Konate’s header and two goals from Sadio Mane.

City responded after the break, scoring in the first and last minutes through Jack Grealish and Bernardo

Silva. Man-of-the-match Mane said: “We have to go and try to do our best to win them all. It is a dream, for sure. We will go for it and fight for it.

“This is special because it was not an easy game. We have faced one of the best teams in the world.”

Meanwhile, Guardiola joined his club in condemning supporters who chanted during a minute’s silence to mark the 33rd anniversar­y of the Hillsborou­gh disaster.

City apologised to Liverpool after referee Michael Oliver cut short an intended commemorat­ion prior to the semi-final after some fans failed to observe the tribute.

Guardiola said: “This is not Manchester City. We are close to Liverpool for the tragedy that happened years ago. It doesn’t represent what we are.”
