Before the event, Jurgen Klopp sent a special message to fans. Talking on Instagram, Klopp said to fans: “Okay, so now I’ve tried to put myself somehow in proper gear to say now for the last time, hopefully, goodbye.
“I’m pretty sure it will be a good event – again pretty emotional, but I think we are through the worst now. So we can have a good time and that’s the plan.
“So I wish you as well – if you can see it – if you can watch it (I’m not sure if somebody shows it) a wonderful night as well.
“So let’s go! So here we go, that’s it. Ready for the party.”
