Did Klopp predict Liverpool’s PL title win during final interview as Kop boss?

Jurgen Klopp got the creepy spot-on when he left Liverpool last summer with a tempting prediction.

After nine iconic years, the German bowed Anfield with a warm take that is perfectly outdated.

Klopp won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup when he restored the Reds to the upper table at home and abroad.

But few believed that his replacement Arne slot could immediately achieve success in his first season in Liverpool.

The 5-1 victory of Sunday at Tottenham sealed title glory with four more games to be saved.

And many more have had a back-lock if they had listened carefully to a 'Klopp-Timistic' clairvoyant last year.

Klopp then said: “It will be fine. And more importantly, also the club, because you have seen the team now, that is a couple of really good people, and it will be fine, or even more.

“Someone will come in, full of dreams, full of energy, full of excitement and full of new ideas, rightly, and lead the club to that future. It's great.”

Still, even Slot might have difficulty imagining how magical his first campaign would be in England.

Liverpool is 15 points free from Arsenal, 20 above Newcastle and 21 for the deposited champions Manchester City.

And when he was asked about the apparent convenience of his performance, the Dutchman referred to Klopp.

Slot said Sky Sports: “That is not just my work, it is the task of the players and the employees who stand there and the work that Jurgen (Klopp) and Pepijn (Libnders) have left here.

“The culture of the team, the working speed, the quality was excellent.

“We all knew that. We started very well and it may have helped a bit that (Manchester) City had a difficult saying that they had not had in five years.

“When the season started, everyone would have been happy if we were back in the top four for Champions League, but I don't think that was fair for our players.

“They are much better than that and that is what they have shown this season.”

Liverpool -skipper Virgil van Dijk told the same broadcaster: “It is special and it is something that we do not naturally consider. It is great.

“We did the job and we (are) really deserved champions of England.”
