Jürgen Klopp is expecting an immense feeling of pride when he witnesses Jordan Henderson lift the Premier League trophy aloft.
Liverpool will finally get their hands on the top-flight crown on Wednesday night, having been confirmed as champions with seven games to go.
Klopp and his squad have had to wait nearly a month to receive the prize, but that moment arrives following the conclusion of their penultimate league fixture of the season against Chelsea at Anfield.
The boss looked ahead to the post-match celebrations during a press conference on Tuesday. Read on below to see what we had to say…
On his emotions when Henderson lifts the trophy…
I don’t know yet obviously but I try to be prepared for it, kind of. It’s, for me, really difficult, it’s quite a challenge. There’s a football game, a very important football game, before that but I cannot and don’t want to ignore that after that football game, whatever happens, there will be a trophy lift tomorrow night. The boys worked so hard for it and everybody in this club worked so hard for it, so in the stadium it should be as good as anyhow possible. I will not disturb that, for sure not. I will be in best spirits. On a professional basis, it’s 100 per cent one of the greatest days of my life, 100 per cent, to finally get our hands on this trophy, [which] everybody was waiting so long for. I think two or three years ago, nobody thought it would be possible for us, especially with all the challenges we faced and the challenges we have and the competitors we have. I will be proud, I think, of the boys and all what we did together in this club. It’s a milestone, 100 per cent, and as such we should see it. It’s an important day, a very important day, but not the last very important day for us. But we will be in a very good spirit, 100 per cent.
