🚨💣 EXCL: Jürgen Klopp reportedly expresses his disappointment to German newspaper Faz after Manchester City were found guilty of their 115 FFP charges:
🗣️ Klopp:
“As a manager, I feel like the single biggest victim of this cover-up and corruption. Look at what my Liverpool team achieved: 99, 97 and 92 points. Three seasons above 90 points, and only one Premier League title. We won with 99, but somehow 97 and 92 were still not enough. Yes, we reached those numbers without illegal activities. To look back now and think about what we were competing against is deeply disappointing.”
“We built Liverpool brick by brick. The players, the staff, the supporters; everybody gave something of themselves. We won every major trophy available to us while competing against a Manchester City side now found guilty of breaking the rules. I am incredibly proud of what we achieved, but think about those dressing rooms after finishing one point behind. Those boys gave absolutely everything. You cannot give them those moments back.”
“Football should be completely free from corruption. Supporters deserve to believe that everybody plays by the same rules. If City lose their appeal, they must face the consequences. It cannot matter how much money you have or how many trophies you have won. The rules must mean something.”
“If City are stripped of those two titles and they are awarded to Liverpool, would I be proud to be recognised as champion twice more? Absolutely. That would be two more titles for players who earned every single point honestly. I would celebrate with them without hesitation.”
“And what I said in 2025 about a parade in my back garden? The invitation still stands! I will call the boys and tell them: ‘Just book a flight, I’ll buy the beer, and we will have a parade in my garden!’ Bring the medals. We have some celebrating to catch up on….” #LFC

Pep Guardiola: “Everyone cares about their own house, [not their] neighbours.
Look what’s happening today, all around the world. And we are sitting here doing nothing. It’s here, around the corner. You know, one day it will come here.
The world is full of injustice”
