Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he was in tears when they were confirmed Premier League champions.

Klopp's side were confirmed as league champions with seven games to spare after Chelsea beat Liverpool's rivals Manchester City, which meant Pep Guardiola's side could no longer catch them.

The German manager admitted he began a video call with his family moments before the final whistle at Stamford Bridge and the Klopp clan watched his reaction to the title win.

He told LFCTV: "You have no idea how it will feel before it happens. It was pure joy! Massive relief in the next second and then I started crying. So I went and called Ulla.

"I called my family 10 seconds before the end of the game so they watched it together. I said, 'OK, I love you all' and I put the phone down on the table. I said, 'Leave your phone on so you can see what happens here!'

"Then I wanted to speak to Ulla and couldn't. I had her on the phone but I just was crying. I didn't know why it happened.

"I had no idea. I was proud of and I was worried about [it], but I couldn't stop. I have never in my life had a situation when I just couldn't stop crying."
