Ahead of the game that will bring the 22/23 season to an end in England, the Reds travel to Southampton to face Saints, who will bid farewell to their fans after being one of the three teams to be relegated. For this clash Klopp will see how it will also be the last game for some.

Before arriving at St Mary's Stadium Klopp took the opportunity to meet the media and gave a hilarious response when he did not understand a question from one of the journalists in the room. The epic moment came when the manager asked his assistant "what, a bobby?" after being asked if he thought the Europa League qualification was silly.

 

In information gathered by Anfield Watch and published by the BBC, Klopp was ironic about the "silly" prize of not playing in the Champions League, because to do so, they should have finished in the top four and not fifth, as the press questioned. Klopp thus relieved the pressure of the clash against the Saints.

With Luton Town's agonising penalty shoot-out win, the 20 members of next season's squad were confirmed, with Burnley and Sheffield United completing the three places that Souhthampton have so far vacated on the Big Island. The other two teams to be relegated will be announced this Sunday.
