Klopp's team improved their chances of finishing in the top four, and qualifying for next season's Champions League, thanks to Georginio Wijnaldum 46th minute goal and Emre Can's long-range shot after 60 minutes.

"I would say you need to be ready for both," said Klopp when asked if it was important for his team to learn how to win 'ugly' games. "You cannot plan an ugly game. But this was not our best game so, yes, if we want to stay where we are, then we need to win games and we can't make the choice and say 'yes or no we want to play this way'," the German added. "We all have to get used to it a little bit," Klopp added.
