Just how good is this Liverpool side? Well, from another world.

That's according to Brighton star Anthony Knockaert.

Following victory against Manchester United, Brighton secured top flight status ahead of traveling to Anfield to face the Champions League finalist, Liverpool.

On Sunday - the last day of the Premier League campaign, Brighton were thrashed by Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's men slotted four past Brighton including a 32nd league goal from Mohamed Salah.

Despite a European final just two weeks away, Klopp refused to rest players, fielding a strong XI. The likes of Sadio Mane, 'Bobby' Firmino and Salah all started, combining brilliantly.

And Knockaert has revealed what it was like playing at Anfield against Liverpool's star studded attack.

"It's good for us. It's a great team who will play the final of the Champions League in two weeks," he said.

"They are a different class and it just another world. They have got a lot of quality."

Knockaert also recalled Liverpool's trademark high pressing and pressure, while saying it's good for English football.

"It is incredible. The pressure they put on the ball, it's like they have always got three players around you.

"It is amazing to see that but it's good for English football - and it's good for us that the job was already done."
