Bayern Munich defender Hummels: Klopp will listen to you - but he's the boss

Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels is proud of his relationship with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

The pair won two league titles with Borussia Dortmund.

"It was almost like family between us," Hummels tells the Daily Mail.

"Of course we had our issues from time to time. One day we would be there, screaming at each other. But the next day? It was all fine. He understood me, I understood him.

"Each of us would know why the other one would act like he did. We never, ever had a big problem. He always considers what you say. He doesn't always agree and he has the final word. But he considers it and he will say 'OK' or… 'Think about it again'. He is the boss."
