And while there are only two home games remaining, one other assignment in the city now looms large for the Liverpool boss.

That comes at Goodison this evening when Klopp takes charge of his 19th and final Merseyside derby with both the Reds and Everton in need of three points for vastly contrasting reasons.

For Liverpool, there is the desire to keep pace with both Manchester City and Arsenal as the Premier League title race reaches a thrilling conclusion.



And on the other side of Stanley Park, victory would arguably banish any lingering fears of relegation after yet another season hovering above the drop zone.

Klopp can boast an impressive record against Everton, having lost only one of his previous 18 derbies as Liverpool manager, the 2-0 Anfield reverse behind closed doors in February 2021 to a visiting side helmed by Carlo Ancelotti.

His record at Goodison has seen two wins - the most recent a 4-1 romp in December 2021 - and five draws.

But when the German packs his bags and bids farewell to Merseyside next month, the scraps to claim local bragging rights will not be among the things he misses too much.

"Around the derby is just pressure," he says.

"I have no idea at the moment what I will miss, but it feels like I won't miss a lot of the things for plenty of reasons," says Klopp.

"I had my last European game last week, yes we didn't go through and you can make a big story of it being my last game, but I just tried to figure out how I felt, and it was nothing.

It's not like I felt I would never have a European game again - if that would be the case, then I wouldn't stop it.

"I had 1,000 games as a manager, probably more than 100 European games, so what do you want?

Not yet."

Klopp may not miss the Merseyside derby.
