An emotional Virgil van Dijk was left speechless after Jurgen Klopp’s final game as Liverpool manager.

The Reds ended their campaign and the Germans’ tenure on a high with a comfortable 2-0 win over 10-man Wolverhampton Wanderers. Nelson Semedo was shown a red card for a reckless challenge on Alexis Mac Allister and within minutes, Liverpool capitalized on their numerical advantage.

The Argentine nodded past Jose Sa from Harvey Elliott’s cross before Jarell Quansah scored his second in as many games in the first half.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Van Dijk said: “I’m speechless, it’s an emotional day. Liverpool is special.

“It was always going to be a tough afternoon for everybody for different reasons, we wanted to win the game, do our job and then be really emotional after the game. We will be.”

Speaking about preparing for Sunday’s farewell to Klopp, the Dutchman added: “Difficult, very difficult, but I did it and I’m proud of it.

“You can’t prepare for these situations, moments, but these things happen. It was a good day, he deserves every bit of love he gets and so does the rest of the staff. Tough. Life goes on.”

In addition to Klopp, Liverpool said goodbye to Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara, as well as the coaching staff including assistants Pep Lijnders, Peter Krawietz, Vitor Matos, John Achterberg and Jack Robinson.
