Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson says Premier League champions Manchester City know Jurgen Klopp's side are "here to stay" after they pushed their title rivals to the final day of the season.
City successfully defended their league title on Sunday, defeating Brighton 4-1 to finish one point ahead of Liverpool. The 97 points won by the Reds is the third-highest top-flight total in English football history.
Liverpool ended the Premier League season on 97 points, the highest ever tally for any runner-up in any of Europe's top five leagues
Despite suffering just one defeat all season, Liverpool's 29-year wait for a league title goes on. The Reds' 97-point haul, bettering their fourth-placed finish in 2017-18 by 22 points, is the highest ever tally for any runner-up in any of Europe's top five leagues. But following their 2-0 final day victory against Wolves, manager Klopp said Liverpool's "special" season was "only the first step" as they look to overhaul City in the coming years.
On the evidence of the past few months, they can barely afford to draw a game next season if they are going to keep up with City - who have a total of 198 points from their past two campaigns. That is why the Reds cannot rest and be too satisfied with their achievements, because they will have to improve further if they are going to challenge again.
