Magical moments of football culture unfolded at Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp having the entire stadium chant the name of new Reds boss Arne Slot.


The "great Jurgen Klopp" proved even in his farewell from the technical leadership of Liverpool that he is "The Normal One". Through a move that shows his education and the football culture that governs him.


The German took the microphone and started shouting "Arne Slot, lalalala", prompting the whole of Anfield to shout the name of the new manager of the "Reds".


The German will leave accompanied by the hearts of the 60,000 supporters who bade him Auf Wiedersehen as well as millions across the glob.


Among them was wife Ulla, who wiped away the tears as her husband - with whom she'll be enjoying his, at least temporary, retirement in at the pair's sunny Majorcan villa - was serenaded by the Kop.


The departing Liverpool boss, 56, ended his reign with a 2-0 win over 10-man Wolves at Anfield thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Jarell Quansah.


After the referee's final whistle Merseyside captain Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk was overcome with tears and emotion in his final embrace with the manager who developed him as a footballer enabling him to compete at the top level.


In their six years together at Liverpool, the Dutch stopper made 269 appearances, while his commanding personality led Klopp to hand him the armband.



Excitement


Meanwhile when Liverpool's coach arrived earlier (19/05) at Anfield for the final league game against Wolves (and Klopp), the crowd gathered outside the stadium were apologetic.


The reason, of course, is the fact that the German coach sat for the last time on the Reds' bench after 9 years of great contribution to the club. With Liverpool fans showing yet another way of the great love and boundless admiration and respect they have for him.

Arsenal failed to maintain the euphoric atmosphere that existed after the imposing 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Their tank was almost... empty, stuck at 1-1 against Brentford, and now Mikel Arteta's team seems to be raising the white flag in the championship battle!.  Now Arsenal is turning its attention exclusively to the Champions League, where after the 3-0 win, it seems to have a big lead to qualify for the semi-finals of the top club competition in Europe, if not the world.
