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.”
