"We know this club is the mix of atmosphere, emotion, desire and football quality. Cut off one and it doesn't work – we know that. I've said it before. If I have to describe this club then it's a big heart and tonight it was obviously like crazy, pounding like crazy. You could hear it and probably feel it all over the world."

Speaking after Liverpool's remarkable 4 - 0 victory over Barcelona on the 7th of May 2019

Reflecting on being confirmed as Premier League Champions on the 26th June 2020

"If I won everything this season, it wouldn't change my mind. I had to make the decision. I thought it through properly. It's independent of any kind of result this season. The big one is I can see there is a really good basis for this team. That's why it's a good moment to give it to someone else."

Klopp explains his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season

"In more than 20 years it is easily the most special trophy I have ever won. It is absolutely exceptional. Sometimes people ask me if I'm proud of things and it's really tricky, I wish I could feel pride more often. But tonight is an overwhelming feeling.

"I was proud of everyone involved in everything here, I was proud of our people for the way they pushed us, I was proud of the staff for creating this kind of atmosphere where these boys can just do what they are best at. I was proud of our Academy, I was proud of my coaches, I was proud of so many things."

Klopp reflects on winning the Carabao Cup for the second time, with 5 teenagers featuring in the Final

"I'm one of you now. I love you to bits. On my jumper is 'Thank you Luv' and 'I will never walk alone again'. Thank you for that! You are the best people in the world. Thank you!"

Klopp's final words as Liverpool Manager, during his post-match speech at Anfield on the 19th of May 2024

"I will be completely honest with you. When I get out of here and leave here and I'll remember my period personally here, always I will remember that the biggest rival and how incredible battles we had between each other."

"The reason why I give incredible credit with the five Premier Leagues we won is because we were battling with an unbelievable football club like Liverpool.  Incredible manager and his staff and incredible players. I will never forget these battles, never ever in my life."

"It's an honour, for all my career everybody knows Klopp made me a better manager and Liverpool made me a better manager. There is no doubt about that."

Pep Guardiola speaking about Jurgen Klopp, and the rivalry between Liverpool and Man City

"Special managers do special things and he is one of the best that the Premier League has ever seen. A monster manager who has a middleweight squad, a bantamweight team out there but punches like a heavyweight. It’s because of him."

Ex-Man United defender turned pundit, Gary Neville, speaking about Klopp after the 2024 Carabao Cup victory over Chelsea

"It's not just about this season, or today, it's almost nine years.  When I came in today - this place is unrecognisable from when he first arrived."

"There's two new stands, that's before you get t what you've seen on the pitch. He's been part of the old Liverpool and the new Liverpool - the training ground, getting back to winning ways."

"The biggest legacy is that the man we expect to take over from him, the big thing is he plays like Klopp.  When you talk about replacing him - it's very difficult to replace the man - but his biggest legacy will be his style of football."

"That goes back to what Bill Shankly did, he set a way of playing, principles which were set for the next 30, 40 years."
