Liverpool title win had Jurgen Klopp in tears as Sky Sports interview was cut short

Liverpool fans will never forget Jurgen Klopp's Premier League title win, when he allowed his emotions to get the better of him while speaking to Sky Sports News Jurgen Klopp may have raised a glass of wine to Arne Slot after the Dutchman won the Premier League title with Liverpool at the first time of asking. Slot, 46, saw his side destroy Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield to secure his first title and the club's 20th, drawing level with Manchester United. In the process, he became the first Premier League manager since Antonio Conte at Chelsea in 2017 to win the title in his debut campaign.

The city was dyed red by celebratory flares and thousands of Liverpool shirts as fans lined the streets and the roads in celebration. While maybe watching on the television at home, Klopp may have choked back the emotion. After all, his Premier League title celebrations were completely different.



When Klopp's rampant reds won the title, Covid-19 had just taken hold in the United Kingdom and the country was confined to their homes. When the title was secured after Chelsea overcame Manchester City 2-1 in 2020, Klopp and his players celebrated at Formby Golf Club and did the trophy lift at Anfield, behind closed doors. Before the latter took place, Klopp, while wearing a Liverpool cap and football shirt, spoke to Sky Sports News.

The happiness of winning, mixed with the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, resulted in him becoming emotional. The German said: "It is unbelievable. It's much more than I ever thought would be possible.

For our fans: It’s for you. It is incredible. It is a joy to do it for you.

"We had to convince people and that is what we did together. It is a huge moment. I am completely overwhelmed.

I had no idea it would feel like this...

talking through the tears!” He added: "It's an incredible achievement by my players and it's a huge joy for me to coach them. I haven't waited 30 years, I have been here for four and a half years, but it is quite an incredible achievement, especially with the three month break because nobody knew if we could go on. "It is a mix of the history you created we are compared with.

We had to write our own story. The atmosphere around the club, everyone lives football. We have a wonderful mix of players, all winners.

It is so incredibly difficult in this competition but consistency drives us.” The interview had to be cut short as Klopp walked away from the camera with tears visibly in his eyes and running down his cheek. It's possible that the iconic former Liverpool boss will be seen in the city or in Anfield on the final day of the season.

He recently said that he had been keeping away from the club so he did not risk jinxing Slot's men. However, he did suggest that he will be in attendance at any title celebrations in a previous interview. While at a fundraiser in South Africa, when asked if he will be in the city, he said: "Yes, the plan is [to be in Liverpool] but not on the bus, I will be there with the people I saw on the bus.

That's the idea to be honest, but we will see. "I think I will be there for the last game..

. I didn't want to go earlier to be honest because I didn't want to jinx it all the time. If I'm in the stadium for the first time and they lose, 'oh f*** sake'.

So I go there when it's decided.".
