On Sunday, Liverpool's European champions took a huge step towards a first top-flight title in 30 years by opening an eight-point lead at the top of the table, with Leicester City in second place.
Goals from Fabinho and Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a dream start before Sadio Mane's diving header early in the second half sealed City's fate.
Manchester City's Bernardo Silva pulled a late goal back, but a third defeat in eight league games leaves City down in fourth, nine points behind Liverpool.
"They were good," Klopp told the BBC. "Oh they were good and we had to defend with all we had but we scored incredible goals. It was so tough to play, the intensity of the game was so clear. It was all worth it, really great."
City boss Pep Guardiola praised his side's performance, saying, "What happened today we showed why we are champion. I am so proud of my team, more than ever. We can be proud of how we played against the strongest team in Europe."
