Anfield felt sombre and subdued as Klopp sat deep in thought, with a pensive look on his face. He may have realized what he would be leaving behind, knowing that he might never find a bond with a club like the one he has at Liverpool. Supporters had arrived early outside the stadium, hoping to catch a glimpse of the German. Klopp was greeted like a God as he walked onto the pitch before kick off, and banners and merchandise in his honor were in abundance.
Many fans are still in disbelief over Klopp’s decision to leave at the end of the season, with some comparing it to the loss of a family member. His presence at Anfield was met with warmth, and he was surrounded by friends and disciples, including rival boss David Wagner. Despite the emotional atmosphere, Klopp remained calm and measured on the touchline, giving instructions to his players as the game unfolded.
Klopp celebrated Liverpool’s goals, which were a testament to the team he has built and the hope he has instilled in the club. However, there was no fist pump to the Kop at the end, indicating that both Klopp and the supporters are already missing each other.
