Jurgen Klopp has opened up on how he will remember a "special" 2020 and his "serious wish" for a better 2021.
Liverpool ended their 30-year wait for a Premier League title this summer following an unbelievable campaign in which they blew every other side away against the backdrop of a global pandemic.
And on one hand, it was an incredibly special year to be following the Reds but an equally difficult period due to the spread of coronavirus and a worldwide lockdown, which is still continuing.
Asked for his thoughts on the year and what he wanted going forward, Klopp said he'd always think of 2020 as a "special year".
The German manager said: "People have said to me 'my God you are a champion in 2020 when no-one could celebrate' – but I see things the other way around.
"Could you imagine this year being like it was and not being champions? Then the year would be really rubbish.
"For me, we have created some highlights in a very tricky year.

"In a very tricky year for the whole world, we have created some highlights for our supporters, for ourselves, for our families and our friends.
"So, in that way it's been a very special year.
"I got a lot of experiences I didn't want to have in my life, but I will hopefully use that.
"And we created some memories which I will never forget for good reasons.
"So that's what I want to remember from this year.
"Never before in my life at midnight on New Year's Eve will I be as serious when I wish everyone a better 2021 than 2020.
"Maybe if we all wish for the same thing and this one time, maybe we can produce some positive energy that will help."
