He continues: “We are getting closer to the end.”

Filming himself, Klopp insisted his time at the club has been a “love affair from the first day”.
He adds: “It has been an absolutely incredible time.
“I enjoyed it so much. I want to thank you so much for all the support you gave us over the years.
“For all the power you gave us. I’ve wondered always that it feels like we write a story together and that is how I feel today.
“It is a good book.
“And if we read it in the future, we will have a smile on our face.
“Leaving this incredible place is hard, but I want to stay in contact with you.
“And even though I am not a social media guy, people told me social media helps with that. So, here we go, see you.”
Klopp’s final game in charge of Liverpool will be against Wolves on the last day of the season tomorrow.
