This is what Aston Villa fans did as Jurgen Klopp exited Villa Park following Liverpool’s 3-3 draw on Monday night.
It’s difficult to think Jurgen Klopp has only one game remaining at Liverpool. One last game before he leaves for pastures new.
His penultimate match as Liverpool manager was a thrilling encounter. Even though both teams had little at risk, they gave their all at Villa Park.
Liverpool and Aston Villa both went full throttle, resulting in a thrilling match. Full of action and many aims.
Klopp will have wanted to finish on a positive note, but Villa’s recent comeback stained Liverpool’s strong play in the opening hour or so.
What Aston Villa fans did when Jurgen Klopp exited the pitch.
The game was all about Jurgen Klopp from the stands. Liverpool fans began chanting his name almost immediately after the game began, and it rang throughout Villa Park.
But Klopp received a standing ovation from the home crowd as he exited the pitch.
According to The Athletic’s James Pearce, Klopp was hailed by Villa fans as he headed for the tunnel.
It’s nice to see Klopp receiving the accolades he deserves. He was a superb Premier League manager who brought a new wave of excitement to England’s top division during his nine-year tenure at Liverpool.
During the years when Manchester City dominated everything, Klopp was a worthy competitor, and likely the only one, until Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal appeared in the final year or two.
It will be strange not to have him in the Premier League next season. Not having him as Liverpool manager will be equally stranger.
