Klopp suffered his fifth straight final defeat a few months after the League Cup heartbreak. The venue was St. Jakob's Park in Basel for the Europa League final against perennial competition winner Sevilla and the score ended 3-1 in favour of Unai Emery's side.

Liverpool had gone into the break with a 1-0 lead but second-half strikes from Coke (2) and Kevin Gameiro meant that Sevilla extended their Europa League title record with a fifth Championship.

Despite the defeat, that campaign had a lot of positives for the Reds, who had eliminated bitter rivals Manchester United in the second round before winning a thrilling tie against Klopp's old side Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals. Klopp would slowly build a foundation to make Liverpool a better side, with the likes of Mo Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri arriving in the subsequent seasons.
