🚨🗣️ ARAÚJO: “BARCELONA DOUBTED ME. ANFIELD DIDN’T”
“I am not going to pretend. At Barcelona there were doubts. About my game, about my mistakes, about whether I fitted. I felt that. Everybody could see it.
Then I came to Anfield and the feeling was different. The fans opened the door straight away. They did not ask me to be perfect. They asked me to fight. That is something I understand.
Here I can play centre-back, I can play right-back, I can do the dirty work. That is my game. Win the duel. Be aggressive. Protect the team.
Barcelona doubted me. Anfield didn’t. Now I have to pay that trust back every time I put the shirt on.”
🚨🎙️Reporter: “Jürgen, who do you think should win the 2026 Ballon d’Or — Mbappé, Yamal or Dembélé?”
🗣️Klopp: “For me, it is Messi. And honestly, I don’t understand why we are making this complicated.”
🎙️Reporter: “But Messi is 39. Mbappé won the World Cup Golden Boot, Yamal won the World Cup and Dembélé is the defending Ballon d’Or winner.”
🗣️Klopp: “I know. And they all had incredible seasons. But when you ask me who is the best footballer, I still say Messi.”
🎙️Reporter: “So you don’t think Yamal deserves it?”
🗣️Klopp: “Deserves to be mentioned? Absolutely. Deserves to win it? No. Winning trophies doesn’t automatically make you the best individual player.”
🎙️Reporter: “What about Mbappé?”
🗣️Klopp: “Kylian is phenomenal. But if we’re giving the Ballon d’Or simply because somebody scored the most goals, then let’s rename the award.”
🎙️Reporter: “And Dembélé?”
🗣️Klopp: “He already won it. Congratulations to him. But I don’t think you should vote for somebody simply because they won it last year.”
🎙️Reporter: “So you’re saying Messi should win over all three?”
🗣️Klopp: “Yes. Easily.”
🎙️Reporter: “Even after everything Yamal has done with Barcelona and Spain?”
🗣️Klopp: “Yes. Lamine has been unbelievable. But Messi is still Messi. If you give me one player for the biggest game tomorrow, I take Messi.”
🎙️Reporter: “So Mbappé, Yamal and Dembélé don’t deserve the Ballon d’Or?”
🗣️Klopp: “They deserve to be nominees. Messi deserves to win it. There is a difference.”
🎙️Reporter: “That statement is going to make a lot of people angry.”
🗣️Klopp: “Then they should be angry with my opinion, not with me.”
🎙️Reporter: “Final answer?”
🗣️Klopp: “Messi. Ballon d’Or. End of discussion.”
