Liverpool FC fans sing You’ll Never Walk Alone ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s final farewell

The M&S Bank Arena joined in song to bid an emotional farewell to Jürgen Klopp tonight.

The final chapter of legendary German Liverpool FC’s farewell match took place on Tuesday night at the Waterfront Arena. The event was held to celebrate the 56-year-old’s incredible spell in charge of the club which saw the team lift eight major trophies.

Klopp took part in a Q&A hosted by John Bishop and Peter McDowall as he shared stories from his memorable nine years on Merseyside. The evening also included performances by Liverpool bands Lightning Seeds and The Zutons.

The event started on an emotional note as classical singer Alfie Boe took to the stage to perform a soulful rendition of You’ll Never Walk Along. The thousands in attendance joined in song to give the iconic manager a special send-off that will live long in the memory.

Before the event, Jurgen Klopp sent a special message to the fans. Speaking on Instagram, Klopp told fans: “Okay, now I’ve been trying to get myself in the right gear to say goodbye hopefully for the last time.

“I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a good event – again pretty exciting, but I think we’re over the worst of it now. So we can have fun and that’s the plan.

“So if you can see it, if you can watch it (not sure if anyone is showing it) have a great night too.

“So let’s go! So here we are, that’s it. Ready to party.”

Klopp ends the clip with a shot of himself in the mirror dressed in a navy blue suit with white trainers.

An evening with Jurgen Klopp capped an emotional few months for the outgoing LFC boss, who announced in January that he would step down at the end of the season.

His last game in charge came at Anfield on 19 May when he pulled off a 2–0 win over Wolves. A post-match ceremony saw Klopp give an inspirational speech to the crowd before opening the next chapter for the club in song for new head coach Arne Slot.
