However, the party stopped there, because simultaneously the Manchester United visited Bournemouth and won the match 1-0, with a goal by Brazilian Casemiro. With the combination of results, the Red Devils are one step away from securing themselves in the Premier League’s G4 and closing the doors to Liverpool, who may not qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Now, Manchester United is in fourth place, with 69 points, while Liverpool is in fifth, with 66. Klopp’s team has already secured at least fifth position, which qualifies the club for the Europa League. Aston Villa are seventh, with 58 points, and Bournemouth have 39 and come in 14th.
The Liverpool team says goodbye to the Premier League against Southampton on May 28, at 12:30 pm (Brasília time), away from home. Manchester United will play a delayed match of the 32nd round against Chelsea, at home, this Thursday, at 4 pm. The Red Devils end the campaign on the 28th against Fulham, also in their domains.
