Liverpool Supporter Proposes to His Girlfriend in Touching Scenes During Jurgen Klopp's Farewell
- 25 days ago
Jurgen Klopp's farewell match in charge of Liverpool also turned out to be the start of new beginnings - with one couple becoming engaged in the stands at Anfield.
In a heartwarming video posted on social media, one lucky girlfriend's partner was seen stooping to his knee and opening a white box containing the ring.
The couple then exchanged a touching kiss before the ring was placed on her finger.
Several supporters sat around them initially stunned by the moment but quickly offered their congratulations as the grinning man received pats on the back.
He and his fiancee then appeared to pose for a picture to capture the moment.
The sweet gesture looked to have taken place in the main stand at the ground on an occasion that saw a capacity crowd flock to pay tribute to the departing Klopp.
All the while, the action continued down on the pitch with the Reds running out comfortable 2-0 victors against the Wolves in their final game of the season.
The newly engaged couple would also have been present for Klopp's last emotional speech to the crowd, in which he thanked them for their loyal support.
'When it's hard, you keep believing,' Klopp said. 'You push the team, you wait not for the goal or whatever. Be on your toes before we start.
'We, because I am one of you now. I love you to bits.
'On my jumper is "Thank you, Luv" and I will "Never Walk Alone Again". Thank you for that, you are the best people in the world. Thank you!'
Arne Slot was yesterday officially confirmed as Klopp's successor. He will take over as head coach from the start of next month on a deal believed to run until 2027.
Mail Sport revealed last week how Slot, 45, had emerged as the club's No 1 candidate to replace the legendary Klopp after a thorough, data-led search.
Liverpool will pay £7.7million as a base figure but this could rise to £9.4m.
Slot, who won the Dutch Cup last month and the Eredivisie title last season, will also bring trusted lieutenants Sipke Hulshoff, Ruben Peeters, and Etienne Reijnen.
