Prior to his arrival at Liverpool in 2015, Klopp had already achieved great success with Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, taking them higher than they ever had been before in German football.
He has fostered an unparalleled team spirit and earned the trust of his players, who know exactly what is expected from them in different scenarios. Everyone knows their place on the team, enabling everyone to play to their strengths.
Defeat at Real Madrid
On Tuesday night, Liverpool suffered a crushing defeat to Real Madrid that has become their fourth consecutive loss and must now turn around their Champions League last-16 tie against the holders quickly. Although Jurgen Klopp remains optimistic of staging an unlikely comeback, significant improvements must be made if Liverpool are to reach the quarter-finals.
Liverpool made an impressive start, taking a commanding 2-0 lead through Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah. However, Real Madrid came back with two goals each from Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema to level the match, leaving Liverpool reeling.
Liverpool played well in the first half, yet failed to capitalize on their superior quality on counter-attack. Additionally, they made several errors in defence that proved costly; Real made it a night to remember with their flawless execution on offense.
‘Bumpy’ season
After their loss to Real Madrid, Liverpool did not look like European champions. For the first time in five years, they looked more like the underwhelming squad we’ve seen throughout this season.
Many members of this group have grown to trust one another and take responsibility for the team as a whole. Kenji (Ryan Potter) has accepted his responsibility to help ease others’ burdens; Yaz (Kausar Mohammed) is slowly returning to accepting her role within the group; Darius, Brookylnn and Ben have all been taught how to accept themselves for who they are despite their quirks.
Bumpy, however, has overcome her past and has once again become the pride and joy of the team. She helps protect her friends in a series of attacks, showing them the importance of working together against both human and dino threats. Though Bumpy may not be around long, it was nice to see her have such an inspiring ending.

‘Immense’ Salomon Kalou
Chelsea’s official Twitter account recently shared a matchday video featuring Salomon Kalou, 37-year-old former Ivory Coast ace who scored the best goal of the season in their 2012 European final against Bayern Munich.
Over six years at Stamford Bridge, the Ivory Coast international won one Premier League title and five domestic cups. He also scored in numerous other competitions such as a Champions League final appearance and FA Cup final.
Unfortunately, Kalou will not be returning to Chelsea after leaving Hertha Berlin. Instead, he has joined Brazilian side Botafogo on a free transfer. A veteran of 27 matches, he’s already taken to Instagram to showcase his bleach-blonde hair and toned physique.
Defeat at Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich won its first UEFA Champions League knockout match since 1946 with an 8-2 triumph against Barcelona at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon on 14 August 2020, marking the first time Barcelona had conceded more than five goals in a UEFA competition game and marking Barca’s most crushing defeat in 69 years.
After the match, Xavi Hernandez addressed the media and lamented his side’s loss as “the gravest crisis” in their recent history. Nonetheless, he encouraged fans to show their support as they focus on La Liga competition.
Mane has been an integral factor in all of Liverpool’s toughest matches this season, and the Senegal forward could well be the difference maker when the Reds take on Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday. His performances during their 3-0 victory at Aston Villa on Tuesday showed why Mane is expected to lead Liverpool’s charge for an unprecedented quadruple.
