Liverpool FC: Jürgen Klopp’s Christmas message praises fans and Mo Salah contract update

Liverpool’s Klopp believes that the Reds’ supporters are the best gift anyone has this Christmas.

The past few years have been difficult with Covid-19 and fan access in the English Premier League, but Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp is thrilled with the clubs’ supporters this Christmas Day.

"“Having you back inside a full Anfield is without any question the absolute highlight of my year. One of the main reasons that make this club so special, so different, is you. Wednesday night’s game was the perfect example of the power of Anfield, why it must be a place every opponent hates to play. Without your support, the boys’ comeback would have been much more difficult. But we did it and we did it together.” via – Anfield Watch"

His words reign true, as the Reds’ supporters were undoubtedly heard in the team’s most recent FA Cup thriller against Leicester City. As a result, he covers that and much more in a special interview for LFC.

With that being said, LFC fans are hoping for one Christmas gift.
