Klopp admits Liverpool win 'emotional' after exit announcement

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp thanked Anfield's fans for their support after the FA Cup win against Norwich City.

The match was the first since Klopp announced he was leaving at the end of the season.

He said: "It is [emotional] but my job is to… OK, it's not always easy but I have to pull myself together and I received all the messages the people sent, I'm not made of wood so I get all of these. I said not too long ago, 'Don't sing the song during the game' – people obviously stopped already listening to me, that's good!

"But it's fine, we won the game, we scored after that, so the reason for being superstitious is done in that case and it was great, and it's the first game after that and I am not here to tell the people what to do.

"It's just that we play on Wednesday again and if we could then ignore for 95 or 100 minutes that the manager is leaving at the end of the season and just do everything to make it as uncomfortable for Chelsea as possible that would be great. And I know the people know that as well so I actually don't have to say it. But it was a wonderful afternoon in all parts of it."
