Jurgen Klopp has expressed his joy after watching his former club, Liverpool, secure the Premier League title on Sunday. Just a year after his emotional farewell at Anfield, Arne Slot and his players celebrated in style with a 5-1 victory over Tottenham, extending their lead over Arsenal to 15 points with only four games remaining.
Following the match, Slot paid tribute to Klopp for building a strong squad and instilling a winning mentality at Liverpool. In a touching gesture, Slot even led the crowd in singing Klopp’s name — mirroring the emotional scenes when Klopp had sung Slot’s name during his farewell match a year earlier, encouraging fans to embrace his Dutch successor.
Now serving as an advisor for Red Bull, Klopp took to Instagram to share his happiness about Liverpool’s triumph. Posting a photo of the team celebrating, he wrote a heartfelt message:
> “Super grateful for the past, super, super happy about the present, extremely positive about the future! Congratulations – YNWA. Thank You Luv.”
Within half an hour, the post — shared with his five million followers — had racked up over 250,000 likes, with thousands of Liverpool fans praising Klopp’s enduring impact on the club.
During his tenure, Klopp guided Liverpool to a Premier League title in the 2019/20 season, a campaign heavily disrupted by Covid-19. Reflecting on his contribution, Slot acknowledged that Klopp’s legacy played a huge role in this season’s success.
> “He helped me a lot, not just with the fantastic team he left but with the culture and winning spirit he established,” Slot said. “That’s a big part of why we’ve achieved so much this season. It felt right to honour him.”
