Thousands of people had already gathered near Anfield more than an hour before kick-off as the team bus drove through the crowds.

And while fans were in celebration mode on a day of mixed emotions, flares could be seen going off among the crowd.

Scarves and flags were waved as applause reverberated through a sea of ​​red shirts, waving to the team bus and the German coach on board.

Although there were already plenty of Liverpool fans in attendance, even more are expected to take to the city’s streets after the match to commemorate their beloved manager.

Anfield has already changed seats with the name ‘Jurgen’ printed on the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand.

With Liverpool’s position already consolidated in third, their season is already all but over and there is expected to be a celebratory atmosphere to send Klopp out.

Liverpool have won everything under Klopp, including the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020, ending a 30-year wait for a league title.

He has also won two Carabao Cups, the second coming earlier this season, the FA Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup.

Sunday afternoon will be Klopp’s 491st game in charge of the Reds – and his last – and his final press conference was an emotional one after reading letters from fans.

“The last few weeks it was really extreme,” Klopp said. “(I received) emails, letters, if I answer them all, I’m here until 2028.

“I apologize, I couldn’t sort the tickets for the last match, there were a lot of requests.

“LFC TV had me read some letters yesterday. With one, I burst into tears. Football changes lives and I know it. We did it.
