Jurgen Klopp: I'm the biggest supporter of the end-of-season Champions Parade, but it has to be prepared from a different angle.
After Liverpool won the Carabao Cup on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp expressed his support for a possible end-of-season parade. But the German insists he doesn't want to focus all the time on the event now. A late 1-0 win over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium ensured Jurgen Klopp added another trophy to the trophy wall in his final season in charge of the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he is keen to showcase the trophies at a parade that the club is considering. When asked about this possibility, he said:"That's the not-so-cool part, which might be seen as [goodbye], and I don't think that makes sense. But other than that, I'm the biggest supporter of the Trophy Parade. I didn't decide to do it, and people might be surprised that these kinds of things have to be prepared from a different angle. But if there was a parade, I would be on the bus, there is no doubt about it! "
In 2022, Liverpool also held a parade immediately after their defeat in the Champions League final, but before that, Liverpool had already won the domestic cup double, when 500,000 supporters should have lined up on the streets of Liverpool to welcome the Reds. In 2022, less than 24 hours after the defeat in Paris, Klopp said:"There is no doubt that there is no club in the world that has allowed people to come here in such a state and mood after losing the Champions League final the night before. Absolutely outstanding. It's the best club in the world and I don't care what other people think! "
It was the second championship parade during Jurgen Klopp's tenure, the first being after his Champions League triumph in 2019, when he was on 13 years through city streets and waterfrontIncredible scenes took place along the 5-kilometer route. This season, any possible championship parade will take place after the final game of the season, with the parade likely to take place on May 20 if Liverpool fail to qualify for the Europa League final or FA Cup final. If the Reds reach the Europa League final but not the FA Cup final, the parade will be on May 23, the day after the Dublin final. The latest date could be the day after the FA Cup final, Sunday 26 May. If the parade does take place, it will be an exciting event and will be the last act of Jurgen Klopp's tenure as Liverpool manager.
