Jurgen Klopp has hailed his Liverpool players for successfully holding their nerve in the race for Champions League qualification.
The Reds beat Middlesbrough 3-0 on the final day of the Premier League season to clinch fourth place in the table and force Arsenal to settle for a Europa League spot.
Klopp told BBC Sport after the game: "We worked hard to get the first goal. We got more confident. We then scored from the free kick and got even more confident. The boys then played some fantastic football.
"I'm really looking forward to next season. I think we have created a wonderful base. The better you're organised, the more you feel free to do special things in offence. I'm really happy about this - what a wonderful day."
Liverpool last reached the Champions League in the 2014-15 season, where they were knocked out in the group stages.
