Klopp thus set a strong signal for the crucial weeks on the way to the historical title four-pack.

"Ulla wants to stay"

"I'm staying for two more years," said Klopp in a video clip, which was spread by Liverpool FC. In it, he initially joked that his wife Ulla is the reason for the whereabouts.

"Ulla wants to stay. So what do you do as a good husband if the woman wants to stay? You stay," said the 54-year-old with a grin.

He seriously added to the fans: "You know, I love our club, it is the best place where you can be. I feel really happy."

Previously, several media had reported that Klopp had signaled to be able to imagine a longer commitment to the top English club. Originally, the former Dortmund master coach had announced his farewell for 2024 after nine years in Liverpool.

It is a huge gift for the Liverpool fans, because Klopp has made the club a top address in international football again.

This season even waves a year for the history books, the Reds should actually clear all four titles in their club history for the first time.

Klopp left the title talk cold after the confident success of Villarreal. "Made in the pants shortly before the toilet is still made in the pants. That's why that's not really close, it doesn't help either," said the 54-year-old at the "DAZN" microphone.

The Bayern bankruptcy in Villarreal is enough to warning the coach. "It is only half-time, nothing less," said Klopp, to whom the third royal class finale with Liverpool waves in five years.

In view of the sovereign performance, Villarreal would have to increase significantly to stop the Liverpool Express towards the final on May 28th in Paris.

"That was total dominance. This is the best team I've ever seen in a red jersey," enthused the former LFC striker and international Michael Owen at "BT years" and trusts the Klopp team the big throw. "It's actually impossible, but now you think it can happen. The way you play, your belief."

With this opinion, Owen is not al1. Even Rio Ferdinand, once a star defender from the arch -rival Manchester United, was thrilled: "They are relentlessly with and without ball. It is the way they put teams under pressure, the energy, the use, one is amazed at it." With a view to the quadruple, Ferdinand added: "When you achieve it, you are immortal, you are over anyone who played the game in this country."

For the first time in the glorious club history, Liverpool could clear four trophies in a season. You have already won the league cup, the final against FC Chelsea and coach Thomas Tuchel has been reached in the FA Cup, and in the Premier League the LFC is only one point behind the permanent rival Manchester City.

"I can't think about any title at all," said Klopp in the face of the densely crowded schedule. "We try to get through the situation as well as possible."

At the moment it was "a great season" for him anyway.
