Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits being taken aback by his popularity in Singapore.

Klopp and his players were cheered by local fans as they left their Ritz Hotel for training yesterday.

While there was big support for Mohamed Salah, the loudest cheer was reserved for Klopp.

“I realise when I step out of the hotel that the noise changes slightly and it's nice, to be honest," said Klopp, when quizzed on the matter at the pre-match press conference.

“In this business it's like that, because you are the manager of a really good football team and my face is more often on the camera than probably other faces, and I don't run while the camera is on me so people can really recognise me.

“That's it. It's nice but it was never my aim that this would happen."
