11 years ago. The best years of our lives watching this man in the dugout. Was unreal at the time, but didn’t really appreciate how special he was til we knew he was packing in. What a manager. What a man. Jürgen Klopp na na na na na 🇩🇪❤️
Manchester City being found guilty of serious financial breaches only makes the achievements of Liverpool Football Club during that era feel even more monumental.
England’s grandest institution stood almost alone against a machine that dominated English football, yet Jürgen Klopp, Anfield and those famous red shirts kept dragging themselves back into the fight, season after season.
Liverpool reached heights of ninety-seven and ninety-nine points, conquered Europe, conquered England and produced football worthy of one of the greatest sides this country has ever seen.
There is something almost poetic about looking back now at the seasons in which Manchester City were crowned champions ahead of Klopp’s Liverpool, because history has a habit of remembering more than simply whose name was engraved on the trophy.
What Jürgen Klopp built at Liverpool was never merely a collection of medals, it was an era, a rebellion and another immortal chapter in the history of England’s greatest football institution.
And with everything we know today, the legend of that Liverpool side only grows larger with time.
