Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes the horrific scenes at the club's victory parade showed there were "more serious" matters than football.

A 53-year-old white, British man from West Derby has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and driving whilst unfit through drugs after dozens of people were injured by a car on Water Street, close to the end of the route.

Klopp, who attended Sunday's Premier League game against Crystal Palace and watched Monday's parade from near to where the incident occurred, said that had destroyed "one of the greatest days in the history of the city", after he was inducted into the League Managers Association Hall of Fame 1,000 Club on Tuesday.

"It should have been one of the greatest days in the history of the city, after a long time because we didn't have the opportunity to do it last time," said the German, whose 2020 Premier League winners were denied a similar celebration due to Covid restrictions.

The most beautiful face for a long time: the parade was incredible, the mood was incredible.

"Thoughts and prayers go to the injured people and their families as well

Van Dijk's team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was born and grew up in West Derby close to the club's former Melwood training ground, expressed his sympathies on Instagram, adding: "The city will continue to pull together as it always does."
