Klopp broke out his trademark first pump celebration in front of The Kop at the final whistle, but saw his wedding ring slip from his finger in the process. His blushes were spared – keeping him in the good books of wife Ulla Sandrock at the start of 2024 – when a camera man spotted the jewellery in question and pointed the Reds boss in the right direction.

Klopp said of briefly being separated from his wedding band – with it not the first time that he has endured such panic: “I had a massive shock, but it's back. I lost it once in my life – I needed a professional diver because it was in the sea. From time to time when I lose one or two kilos, it's not the right fit anymore.”
