Liverpool will say an emotional goodbye to Jurgen Klopp this Sunday as he leaves the club. The Reds have enjoyed an incredible period of success under the manager, who brought them a first ever Premier League title.

Pundits too, although they’ve given him a hard time ove...

One of the most popular members of the Liverpool squad, the 32-year-old formed a superb partnership with close friend Virgil van Dijk. As a key part of the 2019 Champions League winning team, Matip the...
