Jurgen Klopp opens up on Liverpool Premier League title parade planning

Jurgen Klopp admits it is his "dream" to celebrate Liverpool's Premier League title win with supporters.

The Reds have sealed their 19th championship - and first in 30 years - with a record seven games remaining and will be awarded the trophy in their final home game of the season against Chelsea next month.

However, it will be in front of an empty Anfield with supporters not allowed inside stadiums for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus outbreak.

While Liverpool City Council have confirmed a title parade will held for the new champions, it will only take place when social distancing restrictions have been relaxed sufficiently for a mass gathering of people to be officially allowed.

And Klopp is adamant the time will come for the players to celebrate with suporters.

"I have a dream of that, honestly," said the Reds boss. "It's like that. For me, whenever it's possible to do so we just should say, in four weeks after game x, y, z, whatever it is, in whichever situation we are in – winning or losing, hopefully not losing, fighting for the Champions League or fighting for the title – we should give ourselves the opportunity to do so.

"Tell the people four or five weeks before, 'So here it will be.' Then we decide how good it will be.

"Usually we play a final the night before or play a game the night before and the next day is the parade, so nobody can really plan it, it's really difficult. A lot of people who watch the game cannot make it to the parade."

Klopp, speaking to liverpoolfc.com, added: "Nobody can tell us when we celebrate what, we decide that.

"It's too big an achievement to not celebrate it, honestly. With all my power in this club, I will try to make it happen.

"I'm not sure if I can, but I will try everything to make it happen and then we can show the best face of this wonderful club and can show it to the whole world."
