Liverpool has a strong fan base in Ireland, with the percentage of fans being higher there than in other locations outside of England. Many fans in Ireland had made arrangements to bid farewell to Klopp, but it seems like only a few thousand will be present for his 92nd and likely final European game with the team.

The end of Klopp’s tenure should not overshadow his achievements. His successful European record, including four major finals which matches that of the legendary Bob Paisley, has made a lasting impact.

Despite the resources available to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, he has only reached two finals, while Klopp has left an indelible mark with memorable victories and performances, such as the comeback against Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League. Klopp has left behind a legacy at Liverpool, with moments such as the historic win over Barcelona and Sadio Mane’s brilliance against Bayern Munich in the 2019 Champions League quarter-finals.

There remains a small possibility that Klopp could add to Liverpool’s European history by overcoming the odds and winning their first European tie at the fourth attempt. Despite the challenges, there is belief that Klopp has the ability to achieve this feat.

His impact on the team and the club’s European legacy will be remembered long after his departure.
