Jürgen Klopp will be looking forward to adding a couple more titles to his account following Manchester City’s landmark guilty verdict.
With an independent commission finding the Etihad club guilty of financial breaches, famous comments made by the former Liverpool boss in 2024 have resurfaced across the football world.
What Jurgen Klopp said about Man City being stripped of their titles
Speaking shortly after stepping down as Liverpool manager in May 2024, Klopp was directly asked about the ongoing Premier League investigation into Manchester City and whether he would feel like a champion if City were stripped of their honours.
The German delivered a classic, memorable response: “If you organise a bus parade, I am in! How long it takes I don’t care!”
Klopp’s Liverpool lost out to Man City in both the 18/19 & 21/22 title races by a solitary point.
