01x04 - The Long Goodbye

[bunniefuu]

[laughing heartily] Yeah.

[interviewer] We've got

a couple of clips to take you back a bit.

Oh.

[mumbling quietly] Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I can press it.

[fans singing on the tablet]

[fans singing joyously]

Shankly, Shankly, Shankly.

[commentator]

Shankly, the crowd's singing.

And surely, no Manager has ever

had a rapport with the supporters…

…such as Bill Shankly.

[singing continuing]

[Carragher] Bill Shankly

was Liverpool's hero.

He became the manager in 1959,

and turned a second division club

into a team

competing for the biggest trophies.

[commentator] And the cup

belongs to Liverpool.

[Carragher] But more than that,

he understood the people of Liverpool.

[commentator]

Shanks salutes the supporters.

[fans singing]

[Shankly] I'm just one of

the people that stands in the Kop.

They think the same as I do,

and I think the same as they do.

[commentator] For the supporters,

think he is almost a religion

in his own right.

[Carragher] Without Bill Shankly,

Liverpool isn't what it is today.

[Chairman] It is with great regret

that I as Chairman

of Liverpool Football Club

have to inform you

that Mr Shankly has intimated

that he wishes to retire

from active participation

in league football,

and the board has,

with extreme reluctance,

accepted his decision.

[solemn beat pulses]

-[interviewer] Bill Shankly's retired.

-[boy] You're havin' me on…

No, I'm not having you on,

I've just been to Anfield. Honest.

-[solemn beat pulses]

-They just announced it,

at lunchtime today,

and the board were with him.

Bill Shankly's retired.

-[girl] When did he retire?

-Today, he retired. He's finished today.

What did Shankly mean to you?

[boys] Everything.

[boy] He's the greatest manager

in the world, in'he?

[Shankly] Since I come here,

I have drummed it into our players…

time and again that they are privileged…

to play for you.

[emotive music gently playing]

[Carragher] I don't think, Liverpool

supporters ever thought there would be

another Bill Shankly.

[Shankly]

…and if they didn't believe me…

they believe me now.

[Carragher] But in Jürgen Klopp,

they got the closest thing

to the next Bill Shankly.

-[cheering from footage]

-[commentator] This is the man they love.

[fans singing] Shankly, Shankly…

It's a well-educated crowd, isn't it?

[laughs]

[crowd clamour]

[gentle music]

[Kevin] Football in Liverpool, it's…

it's religion, you know,

it's what we live for every weekend.

I'm glad I was born

into a Liverpool family

and not an Everton family,

put it that way, you know?

It's been amazin' under Klopp, like.

He'll never be forgotten in this city,

and he'll always be welcomed.

I still believe firmly

that we can win this league,

and I hope that

we do it for Klopp, you know?

[players shout in the background]

[Raphael Honigstein]

They've already won the Carabao Cup.

They have still a chance

to win the Premier League

and the Europa League.

So the fairytale ending for Jürgen Klopp

at Liverpool is still very much on.

[female reporter]

Liverpool can forget about the title push,

for a day or two at least, as they have

a big game at Anfield tomorrow.

[cheers and laughs]

The Reds will host Atalanta

in the first leg

of their Europa League quarter-final.

[stadium noise increasing]

[Scott Elliott] We've got Endō, Jones,

and Mac Allister in midfield

with Cody, Darwin, and Harvey up front.

So quite an exciting line up there.

[male interviewer]

And is that Harvey's favoured position?

Er, probably not. He can play there.

He's always played there.

But where he's been converting

into a right-sided midfielder now,

he's really adapted to that well.

[cheering, applause]

[commentator]

We're only two ties and four games away

from the Europa League final,

with Liverpool the favourites

to be there and win it.

[whistle blows]

[commentator] Can Atalanta

cause a surprise this week and next?

Elliott… Jones…

[Scott] Good quality here lads.

[thud of the ball]

-[Scott] Ooh, good touch.

-[Janine] Come on, go on.

[thud of the ball]

[Scott cries out]

f*ck' hell, man.

It's hit the bar and the post.

Oh…

that's heartbreak.

Desperately unlucky.

[cries out to the team] Go on lads!

[commentator] That's a good ball,

he's taken out two Liverpool players.

And Zappacosta's got away on the right.

It's a low cross. Big chance!

Oh, and Kelleher's let it through.

And Scamacca scores.

[Scott]

Absolutely no man's land.

[fans cheering]

-[Scott] Come on!

-[Janine] Come on!

[Janine] Come on!

To Harvey.

Cross it in, Harvs.

[Scott] Ah…

Flippin' hell, man.

Go on, break. Here we go.

[commentator] Jones…

it'll break for Gakpo…

[Scott] Switch it. Switch it!

Man, switch it!

[commentator] Cody chose the wrong option.

Flippin' heck, man.

[whistle blows]

Disappointing for Liverpool so far.

A little bit disjointed.

[Scott] Oh, it's unbelievable.

[anxious music begins]

[commentator]

So, with Liverpool a goal down,

a triple change, Curtis Jones,

Tsimikas,

and Harvey Elliott go off as well.

-Big second half needed from Liverpool…

-[whistle blows]

…in the first leg.

We've seen this team deliver

time and time again with comebacks.

But they work it to the right wing

and they're onside…

Ball into the middle. Scamacca scores.

It's a cross from the right-hand side.

We went to sleep

and Scamacca scores to double

Atalanta's lead.

Jürgen Klopp is furious

on that touch line at the moment.

[fans chanting]

Van Dijk, back to Szoboszlai again.

Oh, that's really poor by Szoboszlai.

He's given it away.

[excitedly] Big chance for three!

Kelleher saves, but it is three.

-[tense pulsing]

-It's 3 - 0 to Atalanta.

This has turned into a horror show.

[whistle blows]

And the final whistle goes.

We could scarcely believe our eyes.

[tense pulses beating slowly]

[silence in the stadium]

[Elliott]

Losing at home is very hard for us

because we feel like

that's, you know, our superpower.

[cheering]

And the way they celebrated

after the game, it really hurt us.

[tense music lingers]

-This is a shock result, isn't it?

-They've lost the game 3 - 0,

and the next game could be the last game

of Klopp's reign in Europe.

[male reporter] Jürgen, first off, just

your reaction to tonight's performance.

We can make this

the shortest press conference of all time.

It just was a really bad game. Oh, my God.

We played a bad game, we deserved to lose.

The boys have exactly this night to feel

bad about it, and then we have to--

to build up again for the Crystal Palace.

[interviewer] Atalanta at home,

Harvey was substituted at half time.

Can you explain your feelings

at that moment?

Yeah, absolutely gutted.

[Janine] Harvey deals with losin'…

he gets really upset.

He gets very emotional.

Very frustrated. He can get angry, erm…

but he is learnin' to accept and see why.

[Elliott] I try to…

to be perfect and,

you know, in everything but…

you know, it's just simply impossible.

You can't be perfect in-- in every aspect.

[Scott] He needs to be hard on himself

because if you haven't got that desire

within yourself,

and you're happy with what you're doing…

I don't think that's acceptable.

I think you have to keep pushing

and pushing and pushing.

Every day's a school day.

Here he is. Are you gonna need that coat?

-[Elliott] Probably not.

-It's a bit warm for that.

-[Elliott] Got the newspapers, have ya?

-What's that, a coat hanger?

-[Janine] Love you.

-Love you, too.

Alright, see you… see you later.

-Take care.

-[Janine] Are you home for dinner?

-[Scott] No.

-[Elliott] No.

-[Elliott] Enjoy. Don't miss me too much.

-[Scott] Love ya.

[Scott] We just been givin' ya'

loads of grief on camera.

[Janine] Drive safely, please.

-[Janine] Love you.

-[Elliott] See you in a bit. Love you.

-[Scott] Harvs?

-Yeah?

How do you feel about your season, mate?

-It's been alright. Not too bad.

-[laughter]

Could have won a few more things, but…

you know, can always do it next season

-[Scott] Yeah?

-[quietly] Yeah.

We spoke about your goals for

next season, haven't we already?

-Yeah.

-We're gonna hit them targets, aren't we?

-Good man. Love you loads.

-Do my best. Love ya.

-[Janine] Love you. See ya later.

-I love puttin' him on the spot,

but to be fair, he handles it really well.

-[emotive music]

-[passing car]

[radio host] 3 - 0, they were beaten

at home by Atalanta, and it does leave

their European hopes hanging by a thread.

[host 2] Have this Liverpool team

got another miracle in them?

If anyone can turn a deficit 'round

in Europe, it is Liverpool.

They've been there,

they've done it before.

[crowds milling around]

The story of Liverpool's 2019 semi-final

against Barcelona in the Champions League

is undoubtedly a story

that will be told for generations.

It all started with a 3 - 0 defeat

in the first leg.

A very, very difficult,

if not impossible job to come back

and it looked as if, once more,

the biggest trophy

of all would elude Jürgen.

[fans singing gathering around]

My flight to England was very early,

and I-- I woke up at six.

Standing under the shower…

thinking to myself

'What… you're so… ridiculous…

try to go to England now,

after losing 3 - 0.

There's no chance anyway.'

And, 'What are you doing?'

[commentator] Good evening, everyone.

It's a night where

circumstances and opposition

mean that Liverpool need

one of their greatest ever performances.

[chanting from the stadium]

[Carragher] To come back from 3 - 0 down

against Barcelona, and not just Barcelona,

Messi's Barcelona…

I think was, possibly,

the most difficult situation

you could ever find yourselves in,

to try and recover a game.

This was the greatest player of all time

at his best.

[Campino] We were looking at the line up,

more or less wondering how on earth

are we going to handle this.

I was pretty convinced that…

er… we were out.

[cheering, applause]

[commentator] The Anfield roar

reminding the Liverpool players

that they aren't alone tonight.

[Klopp]

Before the game, I ask the players to…

to close their eyes for ten seconds

and imagine the best game

you have ever played in your life.

It can be a youth game.

It can be when you were ten years old.

They opened their eyes. I said,

"That's exactly

the performance we need today."

[chanting]

[whistle blows]

[clamouring]

[commentator]

There's Lionel Messi on the move

with Andy Robertson trailing behind him,

and Fabinho with a well-timed challenge.

Joël Matip there looking for Sadio Mané,

who's capitalised on the mistake.

Here's Henderson, he's away!

Good save. He scores!

There's one back!

[fans cheering]

Still lots of work to do,

but it's Liverpool 1, Barcelona 0.

What a start for Liverpool.

[Klopp] We played without Mohamed Salah.

We played without Bobby Firmino.

We lost Andy Robertson at half time.

We brought in Gini Wijnaldum

and put James Milner on left-back.

So that was the team.

You just take what you get

and make the best of it.

-[clamouring]

-[slow suspenseful music playing]

[commentator]

Poor header by Alexander-Arnold.

Eager to win it back again, though,

and he's done it well.

Sadio Mané's on his way to the middle.

So is Wijnaldum. Oh, it's in!

Off the bench he scores.

Liverpool get a second goal

in front of the Kop,

and it really is game on

in the Champions League now.

Fifty-three minutes gone.

Liverpool 2, Barcelona 0.

Anfield has exploded.

Now then.

Is something special happening

at Anfield tonight?

[booing]

Let's see how Barcelona respond now.

The Kop tried to suck the ball forward.

Origi.

Shaqiri.

[dramatic music]

[excitedly] Wijnaldum! Oh, it's three.

Liverpool are all the way back.

[Carragher]

Anfield just absolutely erupted.

I think, from that moment on,

Liverpool were an unstoppable force

that night.

[commentator]

Liverpool 3, Barcelona 0.

What a story.

3 - 0 we were going crazy

and believing…

this is our day.

[commentator] Trent Alexander-Arnold

settles for the corner.

Something I remember him saying

early doors was that, you know,

'We fight until the very last…

the last minute'.

[commentator]

What a final ten minutes we've got now.

[commentator 2] Yeah.

It only takes a second to score a goal.

you know, you just need that one moment.

[commentator]

Such a mature footballer, isn't he?

Alexander-Arnold, 20 years of age.

He's been here since he was six.

[ecstatically] And he's spotted that.

They caught them.

They caught Barcelona napping.

Liverpool ahead.

[cheering]

[cheering]

[uneasy music fades in]

[Klopp] In that moment no clue

who took the corner. That's the truth.

Because it's usually a break.

You have a moment, time,

and that's the time I use to talk to them,

and that moment Trent interrupted my break

and I-- I sensed it,

that something is happening,

I look around

and then Divock hits the ball

and goes into the net.

[slow pensive music playing]

He's cheeky like you wish.

This corner, ridiculous.

The whole situation is ridiculous.

To do that in that age and have…

literally, the ba*ls to do it is--

is absolutely crazy.

[fans go wild]

[commentator] That's it!

History made at Anfield.

Barcelona beaten.

Messi, mashed on Merseyside.

Miracles do happen

for Liverpool in Europe,

and we've witnessed another one tonight.

No Salah, no Firmino,

no problem for Liverpool.

It's the greatest ever

semi-final comeback

in the history of the competition.

Liverpool are into the final.

and we will never ever forget

quite how they did it.

[Klopp] That story will not happen again.

It's not possible.

You cannot win a game

4 - 0 against Barcelona.

And… we did.

[players screaming victoriously]

f*ck' hell!

[screaming vigorously] Yeah!

These boys are f*cking mentality giants.

It's unbelievable.

It's unbelievable.

[reporter laughing]

Sorry about the language.

[jokingly] Fine me, if you want, eh?

-[spluttering]

-[reporter laughs]

I'm not native, so I don't have

better words for it. It's unbelievable.

[Alexander-Arnold] I've come from,

you know, kind of like a boy to a man.

Just that feeling

is something that's incredibly special.

[Carragher]

I think that was a coming-of-age night.

This is the same skinny kid

from the under-21s

who a few years earlier didn't even know

if he was gonna make it

at the highest level.

[laughter]

This is a game that will be spoken about

in 30, 40, 50 years' time.

For me,

it's the greatest night we've ever had

at Anfield for Liverpool Football Club.

Nothing comes close to it.

We're coming!

[Campino] Going through to the finals,

Jürgen had to prove something.

Erm, you know,

everybody said he's a nice guy

and what he says sounds great

but he's still got to win something.

[commentator] It's the moment of truth

for the players

of Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.

Familiar rivals meeting

in unfamiliar surroundings here…

in Madrid.

[Robertson]

He got us all in a huddle, and he says

"Boys, this is where we win

our Champions League."

That's all he had to say and everyone

got goosebumps from that and…

from that moment we were like,

there's nothing getting in the way

from getting our hands on this trophy.

[fans cheering]

[commentator] And here's Mané

with the first foray forward…

for Liverpool…

and the referee's given a penalty.

[cheering]

For a handball by Sissoko.

And what a dramatic start we have.

A penalty given to Liverpool

inside 30 seconds.

[whistle blows]

Salah against Lloris.

-And he scores.

-[stadium erupts]

And Liverpool make the perfect start

to the Champions League final.

After beating Barcelona

in those circumstances,

I don't think there's any team who

could've stopped Liverpool in that final.

-[exhilarating music]

-[commentator] Origi with a chance.

That's surely what wins it for Liverpool.

Silverware is the currency of success

in football,

and Liverpool have just hit

the Champions League jackpot.

Jürgen Klopp has taken Liverpool

back to the top of the mountain.

[jubilant chanting, singing]

[Alexander-Arnold]

I owe it to that six-year-old lad

who walked through

the academy gates the first day.

I owe it to, you know, the teenager

that never went to a party,

was doing homework

in the back of a bus from training.

I owe it to him…

who sacrificed everything.

It was brilliant.

it was one of the best experiences of my

footballing life, if not the best.

[cheering]

-[rewind jingle]

-[speaker echoes]

[gentle tune]

[Jones] I came around the team

when they were going

for Champions Leagues,

Wijnaldum and Henderson,

Emre Can were still there.

They would pull me aside,

and always just reassure me

in a sense of,

'Look, you're still a young kid.

Your time will come. Your training great,

your attitude's great.

Just keep doing that.'

And it was like, I know me time

would eventually come.

Ready?

-[school girl] Are you Curtis Jones?

-Yeah.

You're my favourite football player.

-Darwin Núñez is my second.

-[Jones laughs]

-And Mo Salah.

-Nice.

-Have you met Mo Salah before?

-Have I met Mo Salah?

-[school girl] Yeah.

-I play with Mo Salah.

[school girl turns and screams]

-Hi.

-[Jones laughs]

I got your autograph photocopied.

Don't be sellin' it.

-I will I'll…

-[jokingly] I'll remember your face.

[chuckles]

So we're back at me old primary school.

I mean, I'm not proud of it, but…

What's that, 13, you reckon that says?

-[man] No, that's the IS.

-[laughter]

It is as well, yeah.

[Jones] Here he is.

[gate clinks]

-You're late again Curtis Jones.

-[Jones laughing]

Five to nine, school starts.

What's your excuse this time?

-I'll be on the wall on break.

-[laughter]

Great to see ya, mate. How's things?

-Good to be back.

-Welcome back to St Vincent's.

-Come on in.

-Thank you very much.

Well, come and meet my year six class.

They're really excited to see you.

Are you nervous?

-A little bit.

-Yeah, you should be.

My year six classroom. Your old classroom.

[cheering children applaud]

-[Jones] Am I in the hot seat?

-[teacher] Take a seat, Curtis.

-Take a seat.

-[Jones] Hi, are you OK?

[teacher 2] Yeah, yeah.

[teacher] So, you know,

how's it feelin' back in school?

I used to love school, actually.

I knew how important school was.

I'd come into school every day,

and I'd try and be the best I can be.

But I believe you had an interest

in music, as well, Curtis.

-Would that be right, in school?

-Yeah, massive and like… still now.

Fancied yourself

as a bit of a gangster rapper?

-I did, yeah.

-[laughter]

How do you feel

about Jürgen Klopp leavin' LFC?

Erm, he's been a big part of me life,

and career, as well.

But at the end of the day,

he's got his own life,

he's his own man.

He's got a family as well.

Erm… I'm happy as well, you know,

that he's been here, that he's done well

and he can go and chill now

with his family, his kids,

and his grandkids,

and have a smile on his face and…

enjoy his cash.

[collective laughter]

[spritely music]

[Raphael]

It's a crunch week for the club.

Liverpool are joint top

with Arsenal on 71 points.

[Klopp] If you ask me what you wanna win?

It's the Premier League.

It is the one trophy. It is. Absolutely.

That's where we belong.

Now let's give it a go from here.

The base is good.

We have a chance.

Let's try it.

We've gotta win every game, like,

we just can't afford no more slip ups.

[girl] It's winnin' a title race.

We've got really good competitors so…

Showin' 'em. Yeah,

we can have a bad result,

but we can bounce back from it.

[fan] I believe the fans, the club.

Everyone's associated till now,

till the end of the season.

Give it a one more push

and bring number 20 home

for Jürgen Klopp.

-[chanting]

-[commentator] Seven games to go.

We know what we need to do.

[whistle blows]

[Klopp] You wear the red shirt

with the Liver bird on it,

and you look left and right.

You see the quality of the players,

the quality of the manager.

You think, 'Yeah, we should win actually'.

[commentator]

Palace playing it nicely to the left

and Mitchell's gone on.

They've got it behind Liverpool.

Free chance. 1 - 0.

Eze is there to score.

That was too easy. That can't happen.

But it has.

[whistle blows]

Looking for an equaliser.

Jones just outside the box.

Robertson on the left. There's the cross.

…Oh, unbelievable save…

…to deny Díaz.

Szoboszlai. Back to Jones again.

Quick feet.

Into the-- Szoboszlai!

-Jota! Off the line.

-[agonised cries]

By Muñoz to deny Diogo Jota.

[commentator 2] Is it gonna be

one of those days for Liverpool?

We've certainly had the chances

to be back in this game.

[tense music playing]

-[fans cheering]

-[commentator 1] The break is on.

Gakpo with a brilliant through ball.

Curtis Jones 1 v 1.

Oh, misses.

Oh, he missed the target.

[Jones] It's all fun and games when you're

playin' in front of millions of fans

and you're doin' well,

but when things are wrong…

[commentator]

I don't think anybody can believe it.

[Jones] …and you make a mistake

and it's so hard.

We're humans, like everybody else.

-[whistle blows]

-[commentator] Crystal Palace

have claimed all three points

at Anfield today.

There's some dejected looks

of Liverpool players.

Our impeccable home record

has been pierced twice

in the space of a few days.

[Carragher] I was more angry

with the results of that game

and the performance of that game.

You don't lose at home to Crystal Palace

if you wanna win the Premier League.

Here we stand. We lost the game.

Erm, feel really, really rubbish

and, erm…

yeah, need now a bit of time to… to…

to process that.

There's nobody to blame for.

Really, in that moment.

Maybe, besides me

for not getting into the boys'…

heads, that's a little bit…

erm…

yeah, disappointing, to be honest.

[gulls cawing]

The company changed colours.

It used to be red and now it's blue.

We'd stick with red if I had a choice,

but I think all the fellas were complain',

'cos after a few washes

they all had pink jumpers. [laughs]

Pretty confident about the derby today,

to be quite honest.

Three points in the bag straight away,

isn't it, you know what I mean?

A win for us tonight would be massive

in terms of stayin' in that race

for the Premier League.

And that's what we want,

with it being Klopp's last year.

Lucky for me, I'm gonna be there tonight

cheerin' the Reds on, like.

Well, you've got me who's Red,

season ticket holder.

And then you've got me husband

who's a nice bitter and twisted Blue.

Braggin' rights have been mine

the past few years,

which has been nice.

More than nice, actually, yeah.

[Barney] It's very hard havin' me wife

as a Liverpool fan.

She doesn't gloat too much,

-but, er, she's the worst loser.

-Don't even start.

I'm on the telly now.

Don't even go there.

The only time we do argue

is basically on derby day.

Hate derby days.

Okay.

-My dutiful wife.

-[laughing from the kitchen]

Some people see it

as the friendly rivalry.

[laughs] It's not friendly at all.

We love each other.

We hate each other as well.

-It's love - hate.

-Yeah, it is.

I love to beat Liverpool.

To keep us up, and…

take those three points off the Red side…

so they can't win the league.

[heavy sigh] It's like winnin'

the lottery, wouldn't it?

Some celebrations that night.

-Right, see ya.

-Ta-ra, babes.

-Ah, my lovely one.

-[man] Love ya.

Love you, too. See ya later.

-Hope you get a restricted view.

-[laughs wickedly]

[laughter]

[cheering in the distance]

[commentator] Jürgen Klopp's final skip

across Stanley Park offers him

the chance to oversee

what would be Liverpool's 100th derby win.

[fans singing nearby]

[singing] Liverpool, Liverpool.

[fans singing]

Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool.

[fans chanting]

[commentator] Good evening, everybody.

Derby day on Merseyside.

Five to go,

we must simply keep on winning.

[whistle blows]

[commentator] We're underway in the derby.

Back to Szoboszlai.

Plays it over the top to Robertson.

It's a great touch to get away

from Harrison. Great tackle.

Nice studs there.

Ball over the top

and they've got Calvert-Lewin…

It's round Alisson.

Chance. Everton appealing for a penalty.

[fans shouting]

[man 2] Come on blue boys.

…f*ck'… send him off.

-Gotta be a red card.

-Send him off.

It's gotta be a red card.

[commentator] The Everton fans are singing

for the referee to send him off.

Everton think they have a penalty.

-[protesting fans]

-And he says offside.

Trent didn't get there.

Thumped back in by Tarkowski.

Harrison. Godfrey. Takes aim.

Good block by Robertson.

Terrible clearance by Mac Allister.

[crowd goes wild]

Awful defending from Liverpool.

Goodison Park goes crazy.

[cheering, shouting]

Yeah, boys!

[man] Come on there, lads.

[shouting] Come on.

[commentator] …to Díaz.

Taking on Godfrey.

Goes past him. Beats him on the outside.

Good by Díaz.

Centrally. Alexander-Arnold.

Great ball. Robertson completely missed

his kick at the back post.

He's free, and unmarked.

-[clamouring]

-[Kevin] Come on.

[commentator]

Everton corner right hand side.

McNeil delivers.

Back post. Free header

by Calvert-Lewin, it's in.

[crowd erupts]

[victorious cries]

[commentator]

Our title hopes in tatters, here.

Dear me.

-sh**t, for f*ck's sake.

-[crowd clamour]

[whistle blows]

Jürgen Klopp in his final derby will taste

his first defeat at Goodison Park.

This hurts, this one.

[deep buzzing baseline]

Everton's first Goodison derby win…

-in an eternity.

-[singing]

[deep buzzing baseline]

[interviewer] What's going through

your mind, before the Everton game?

[Klopp] Now I have to go back

to the f*cking Everton game,

which I tried hard to get out of my mind,

and tell you… what I thought

before this f*cking game

and it probably was all wrong

-because we played as sh*t as we did.

-[deep buzzing baseline]

I don't think we'll win the league now.

Bit gutted, bein' at Goodison Park.

-[deep buzzing baseline]

-[fans singing]

[Louise] Start of the season you woulda

thought top three brilliant, but…

after how we've played,

you'd have thought…

'No, I don't want top three.

I wanna win it.'

And now that's it. It's gone.

It's gone. We've lost it now.

We've lost it, er,

I'm not swearin', but God almighty.

-I've gotta go home to him.

-I'll give her a call.

Can I just sing somethin' to you poops?

-[laughing]

-She's gone.

[Klopp] It's a little bit

like we build a long time

and couldn't use the basis we created.

It adds the personal disappointment

I feel in this moment that I couldn't…

for whatever reason, still don't know,

couldn't create the atmosphere

where the boys…

wouldn't feel the pressure

and trust the opportunity.

I'm here, sitting here now,

and I'm absolutely fine with it

what happened, bam, that's it.

And I just wanna…

enjoy my last two and a half three weeks

at this wonderful club.

[Raphael] Irrespective

of the ending of this final season,

he will forever be remembered

as one of the most important managers…

in Liverpool's history

and a man who turned the club back

to the place where it belongs.

[commentator] Here we go again.

The start of another

Premier League season.

What thrills, spills, ups and downs

are we to see this year?

From a Liverpool side

that wowed Europe last season

and nearly nicked the Premier League

to go along with it as well.

[Lallana] Even though,

we've just missed out the previous season,

we were obviously European Champions

at this point, so… I honestly,

it felt like there was no hangover

from not winnin' the league.

We didn't care.

We demolished Norwich

in the first game, at home, 4 - 1.

[comm excitedly] Oh, Salah.

Goal for Liverpool.

As soon as the season kicked off,

you could see Liverpool had that look,

they eyed the title up.

[commentator]

There it is. Virgil van Dijk.

They wanted it.

[commentator] Again, Origi.

Then Southampton.

[commentator] Sadio Mané by himself…

but goes for goal!

Then Arsenal.

[commentator] Alexander-Arnold kicks deep.

And it's in.

[cheering]

And Mané clips it through. Shaqiri.

[Carragher] To go flyin' out the traps

like they did…

They won 26 of the first 27

Premier League games.

Which is unheard of.

[upbeat music playing]

[commentator] Oh, my word.

[stadium erupts]

[upbeat music continuing]

Henderson…

[Carragher] This was Jürgen Klopp's team

at their absolute peak.

-[commentator] It's another lovely moment.

-There was no stoppin' them.

Tonight at ten,

the World Health Organisation

declares Europe the focal point

of the global Coronavirus outbreak.

[Carragher] Initially when COVID hits,

the first feelin' is,

probably from a selfish point of view.

We've waited so long to win a league title

and we've just been stopped in our tracks.

We… we were just all scared

that it was gonna get taken from us again.

[Lallana] Jürgen was on Zooms

throughout lockdown, extremely upbeat.

He said, "I'm not gonna let this happen.

It's not gonna happen. We're gonna…

erm, the league will get finished."

[Klopp] Really?

There was no way

after playing so much football,

you know, that these seasons

could just be forgot about.

[Klopp] You need another haircut, eh?

[official] The project restart

has been set for June 17th.

That's when

Premier League games will resume.

[female reporter] It won't be

the national game as we know it,

but after a three-month absence,

finally… a definite day

when we'll see moments like this again.

I was just relieved

that the football was gonna come back.

[female reporter] Nowhere is

football's return more welcome

than in the red half of Merseyside.

Liverpool are on the brink of their first

top flight title for 30 years.

[hopeful music playing softly]

[commentator] Good evening to everyone.

Well the champagne is on ice in Liverpool.

The title can be decided tonight

and will be decided tonight.

If City fail to win,

30 years of frustration

and disappointment could be over

in 90 minutes time.

[Alexander-Arnold]

We planned to have, like, a team barbecue

and watch the game,

if the game went well,

then we'd be able

to celebrate it together as a team.

We need to be patient.

We were full of desire,

but you need to be patient

in the same moment.

Try that in private life.

[laughs]

Just try it.

'I want this so much'.

But calm.

[commentator]

It's a huge night on Merseyside.

[Lallana] We were watchin'

the Chelsea - City game in the hotel.

It was a massive match.

[commentator] Of course,

there'll be no shortage of fight

from Manchester City.

[Carragher] Manchester City could not

afford to drop any more points

if they wanna go on

and win that league title.

[commentator]

Will Chelsea, who cost Liverpool a title,

to all intents and purposes

six years ago,

be the team that delivers

the first one to Anfield for 30 years?

Now it's given away to Christian Pulisic.

[cheering and clapping]

From the heartbreak

of the year before to now…

now's our time, now's our moment and, erm,

yeah, that just made us believe.

[whistle blows]

[commentator]

Kevin De Bruyne with a free kick.

It's a good one. It's brilliant.

Oh, my word,

what a strike from Kevin De Bruyne

and it's Chelsea 1 - 1 Manchester City.

[Lallana] That's maybe where…

the… scar tissue started coming back

from the year before.

and los-- maybe, losin'-- losin'

the league to City in the way we did.

[commentator 1] I'm not sure,

whether the ball struck his arm there.

[commentator 2] It's a penalty, isn't it?

It's also a red card.

Willian scores for Chelsea

and Liverpool edge

nearer the Premier League title

and is that the moment

when 30 years of hurt in Liverpool

finally comes to an end.

Over 11,016 days since they were last…

champions of England.

Eight managers have tried.

Jürgen Klopp is the one

that's gonna lead them there.

Liverpool minutes away

from the Premier League title.

[cheering gaining momentum]

And it's all in the hands, now,

of the referee.

-[whistle blows]

-There's the full-time whistle.

And Liverpool are the champions.

30 years of hurt at Anfield

is finally over.

[singing]

Championes, championes ♪

Olé, Olé, Olé ♪

[commentator] Now Liverpool are back

where they belong.

[commentator 2]

Well, it's been 30 years of hurt…

about to end.

[uplifting music]

[commentator] Champions again.

Liverpool.

[fireworks exploding]

Five years ago I asked you

to change from doubters to believers

and minutes before the press conference

I had no idea that I will ask it.

But I ask it, and you did it.

Drink what you want

but you have to prepare for a party.

[Carragher] To win the Champions League

and the Premier League

within a 12-month period,

it was a really special moment that,

in Jürgen Klopp's tenure.

Yeah, there was a lot

of celebrations that night.

Jordan, you're a great professional,

but tell me you're gonna

get absolutely rotten tonight…

-like me.

-[laughing]

Come on, Jordan.

Go for it, lad. Enjoy yourself.

-[cheering]

-[laughter]

Cheers Carra. See youse later. [laughing]

-[explosions]

-[background chatter]

It's a big moment. I cannot…

I have no real words, to be honest.

Erm, it's such a big moment.

I'm completely overwhelmed.

I never would have thought

I would feel like this, no idea.

-And, erm, it's just… sorry… erm, see you.

-[interviewer] Yeah.

All the best.

-[fireworks crack]

-[muffled conversations]

For me, it was one

of the most special moments

of my entire life,

because it was so incredible.

It was so nice.

It felt so good.

It was unbelievable.

Our people… and the supporters were.

[incredulous sigh]

It was ridiculous.

[interviewer] So Jürgen,

Liverpool's been your home for nine years.

You're… about to leave.

Do you feel you've achieved

what you set out to achieve

when you first got here?

I see it just as a…

as a wonderful journey.

I did what I could.

I gave my absolute everything.

I know I'm not… a… a genius,

so that means…

I have to do it with hard work

and it's what we all put in.

So many friends I made over the years.

So many colleagues I worked

really closely together with,

and I know it has an impact

on their lives as well.

[Danielle] Thank you.

[Danielle talks quietly]

-[Klopp] Wow.

-[laughing] That's so good.

Is that Formby?

Oh, that's at Formby, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

No, I cannot read that without crying, eh?

-No, no, no, no.

-[Klopp] That's not possible.

It's, er, it's definitely a tear-jerker

that one by the way.

This is… this is the proof for…

why I leave.

-[laughter]

-That's only eight and a half years ago.

-Looks like 500.

-[laughs] That's not true.

[Klopp] I got wonderful presents.

I got picture books,

all the staff members

wrote about the time we had together.

And, of course, at one point

in the next few weeks I will sit there

and read it and look at the pictures,

and I will probably shed one

or twelve tears.

The idea is that each member of staff

gets a personalised shirt,

like a farewell present, obviously.

Who had that idea, anyhow?

-[laughing]

-This? This was one of your great ideas.

[both laughing]

-Are you regrettin' this decision?

-Not yet. We didn't even start.

One hundred and fifty, how sure are we

that this list is complete?

-I've just updated it. [laughs]

-Oh, my god. Danielle's on it.

-Do you want a shirt?

-You can leave me off.

-You want a shirt?

-No… Okay. [Danielle laughs]

Okay. You don't have to.

I actually really do,

but I just thought it'd be a little cheeky

-askin' for you to do me one.

-But I have to think about that.

[Danielle]

Okay, we'll leave that there, yes.

[interviewer]

You've become a legend to this club.

-What does that feel like?

-[Klopp] Doesn't feel at all.

I have, and always had to…

and always did… try to…

get some distance between…

the person

people are talking about, and me.

[speaking indistinctly]

But I don't look in the mirror

in the morning, and think,

"You're a f*cking legend."

[laughing]

[indistinct greetings]

[Klopp] Sorry.

[laughter at the press conference]

Er, I wanna say thank you.

And, erm…

In a completely crazy world, which I…

will never fully understand,

we are brought together

in really strange circumstances

You wanna know,

exactly what I don't wanna tell you.

-[laughter]

-Or can't.

But the good thing about that,

if you look back,

I can't even remember the problems

we might have had.

I don't remember it.

-So… I'm in peace with you.

-[laughter]

If this was a ref meeting,

I couldn't say the same.

[laughter]

They didn't ask me

for a meeting, by the way.

So, erm, yeah.

I put my feet in the sand now

and-- and watch from afar.

Thank you very much. My pleasure.

[applause]

If you think yourself back

to the start of the season you would say,

Okay. Ending up third is good.

We qualified for the Champions League

which is-- is a great achievement

in such a difficult league,

and that's really great.

I'm really happy with that,

that we could do that,

so we can help the club

make the first step into the new era.

[Klopp] Last time. Wow.

Wow.

It's a really, really special club

and I feel really blessed

that I had the opportunity

to be part of this family for so long.

And now I accept the fact

that Sunday will be…

one of the trickiest days of my life.

[Janet Bowman] We're here to do

a mosaic tribute for Jürgen.

Usually, it's only in the Kop End,

but tomorrow's gonna be so special,

it's gonna be

on three sides of the ground.

And when it's done,

it should be spectacular.

We're doin' this G.

So it's just about makin' sure

that we check the plan.

[Janet] See, it's thousands of seats.

So I hope it's spelt right.

Now wait… wait a minute.

I might've done this bloody wrong.

Wait a sec.

-Two.

-Have you done it wrong?

Yeah. Wait a sec. Two…

Did you do literacy and numeracy?

[laughter]

He's give us the trophies.

He's give us the Premier League.

We waited all that time for it,

and he's told us when he come

that's what he's gonna do, and he did it.

I just want to give him a big hug.

Wherever he goes and whatever he does,

he'll never be forgotten in this place.

No, I can't say anymore.

[gentle tune playing]

[fans chanting]

[cheering, whistling]

[commentator] They are in his heart.

He is in theirs.

And there is a mosaic all around Anfield

to pay tribute

to the manager who over the course

of nine seasons here

has absolutely transformed this place.

[chanting, singing]

[Alexander-Arnold]

It won't hit me until the final whistle,

and then it'll hit me

like a ton of bricks that…

our journey together is come to an end.

[Jones] I just wanna see the fans

give him a huge thank you

and a sendoff

that he will always have in his mind

and somethin'

that when he always thinks about,

it's always just a massive smile

on his face.

[Danns]

The boss has been amazing with me,

I couldn't show more gratitude,

to be honest, like he's changed me life.

[commentator] In there.

There's the ball. Unbelievable.

The final whistle has now gone.

so Jürgen Klopp's reign

as Liverpool manager

has now officially come to an end.

[Van Dijk] He's been an amazing manager

for me, for the team, for the club.

and an amazing person for me as well. So…

Yeah, it will be emotional.

I'm… I'm an emotional guy as well, so…

It's gonna be tough.

[players cheering, clapping]

[Klopp] I wanna say I love you.

Absolutely outstanding,

thank you for the ride, I'm so proud…

of you, and so proud

that I was allowed to be part of this.

Thank you very much.

Erm, yeah,

and the sky's the limit for you.

-Thank you.

-[applause]

[emotive music]

[Pep] It's really hard because…

it was my life for ten years, and er…

the feeling of gratitude I'm feeling

from the fans and from all the staff.

[Klopp] In the end it's about

giving your absolute all…

and then you have the little,

little chance

to get something for it.

And that's a really honest thing,

like, because it's life in a nutshell.

[clamouring intensifying]

[cheering] Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes!

[emotive music fades]

[gentle melody]

[talking indistinctly]

[Danielle] Just open your car and just

let him throw his stuff in for now.

-[Klopp] So… Neil.

-[laughter]

Yes, thank you.

-Thank you very much.

-[Klopp] Come on, take it out.

[laughing] There's nothin'--

there's nothin' normal about you, mate.

-[Klopp laughs]

-Nothing normal at all.

[Klopp] I'm…

in this moment, I'm relatively sure…

that I will not work as a manager anymore.

I left my office for the last time.

I will be fine, and more importantly…

the club as well,

because you-- you saw the team now.

That's a…

a bunch of really good people.

Erm, and…

they will be fine,

or even more.

Somebody will come in,

full of dreams, full of energy,

full of excitement,

and full of new ideas, rightly so.

And will…

lead the club into that future.

It's great.

[invigorating music playing]

[Joseph Roberts]

You don't know what you've got…

until it's gone.

It's not so important

what people think when you come in.

It's much more important

what people think when you leave.

Dominate. Checkmate.

Competition smashed.

A league rocked by our band.

He turned goal crushers

into dreamers.

Doubters into believers.

And everything else will follow on.

You don't know what you've got…

until it's gone.
