Jurgen Klopp insisted Liverpool are ready to ‘fight for everything this season’ after seeing his team overrun Barcelona to claim an emphatic 4-0 International Champions Cup victory at Wembley.

In front of the second-highest crowd ever to attend the new Wembley, Liverpool cruised to the win against the Spanish champions with goals from Sadio Mane, Divock Origi, Marko Grujic and an own goal by former Anfield midfielder Javier Mascherano.

And with Liverpool not distracted by European competition after finishing eighth in the Premier League last season, Klopp claimed his team can fight for the title after this result.

"We shall fight for everything this season,” Klopp said. “We need to be ready. It’s not a case of pressure, we are just ambitious, but everyone else is ambitious too. So it will be an interesting league we have to fight and I know we will be ready, but I don't know where we will finish.”

Klopp, who revealed James Milner would undergo a scan on heel injury which saw him limp out of the game in the first-half, admitted that beating Barcelona was a major boost for his team psychologically.

But the Germany refused to suggest that the success placed Liverpool ahead of Barcelona in terms of quality.

"Barcelona is never a bad team,” Klopp said. “We just did very well around the goals and had a bit of luck.

"They start their season one week later than and that's always a difference. It was a friendly and I don’t want to overestimate it. Our only job was to play football as well as possible and we did that.

"We didn't think we were at a higher level than Barca before the game and we don't now that we have won. We are not that crazy.

"But for us, it was more of an important game because 90,000 fans were here for my team, so it was clear we were more motivated even though it was a friendly game.”
