In Liverpool, everyone remembers where he was on January 26, 2024. After a long silence, looking at the camera, tremors in his voice which betrayed his emotion, Jürgen Klopp uttered the words that everyone feared: “I will leave the club at the end of the season. The announcement posted in a video shook Liverpool, its supporters and its city. Some, driving their cars, stopped on the side of the road, others preferred to shorten their work meeting.

Other scenes seen: a school teacher sat in his chair, without a word, in front of his students; a Mexican citizen arriving at John Lennon Airport to attend Liverpool’s next match broke down in tears when the passport controller, asking the reason for his visit, told him the news. “It was like losing a member of our family, this feeling of emptiness,” summarizes former Reds striker John Aldridge. “So this is how the rest of the country felt when the Queen died?” posted Shiney, supporter, on X with the humor and anti-royalism that characterize the Liverpuldiens.
