Klopp insists Liverpool will bounce back after Champions League exit

The title holders were knocked out 4-2 on aggregate after extra time at Anfield.

Manager Jurgen Klopp insists the disappointing end to Liverpool's reign as European champions after a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Atletico Madrid will have no lasting effect.

Having overturned a 1-0 deficit from the first leg to lead 2-1 four minutes into extra time, a kicking error from Adrian allowed Atleti to kill their hosts' momentum and it was downhill from there for the Champions League title holders.

Klopp's side will almost certainly have the consolation of a long-awaited first league title in 30 years to celebrate within the next couple of weeks as a team with a 25-point lead is unlikely to be shaken out of what has been a brilliant domestic run.

"This goal didn't help but that's how it is. I said, if you lose a game you always lose for some (different) reasons."

Atletico manager Diego Simeone paid tribute to Oblak.

"He saves games for us. Messi wins games for you up front and in goal people can win games for you as well. Oblak does that," he said.

"Our fans will remember this and his performance for a long time."
