Jurgen Klopp's final changing room speech as Liverpool boss saw him tell his players they had champion qualities, with Arne Slot's Reds prepare to lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday.

It was on this day 12 months ago that Klopp waved goodbye to Anfield after eight-and-a-half years at the helm.

He remains an iconic figure on Merseyside and Arne Slot's name as he said his farewells to the stadium.



Slot has been able to claim the title with the group of stars he inherited from the German and the former Borussia Dortmund boss was in no doubt the team he left could take the final steps.

In his final season he finished third behind Manchester City and Arsenal, but his rallying cry proved to be perfectly timed as Liverpool were about to embark on their second Premier League triumph.

He said: “I love you.

“Well, the only ones who stopped them do that was us [in 2019-20], and you can do that again," he continued.

Klopp added: “There might be some people who say [third place] is not enough – I tell you, they don’t have a clue about football.

And the sky’s the limit for you boys.”

Liverpool were in contention for a treble come March, but quick fire defeats against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final and PSG in the Champions League curtailed their ambitions.

Slot has been able to maximise the squad he inherited with several Klopp signings producing stellar seasons.
