This season, Klopp has continued to live up to expectations with Liverpool, who are well on course to win the quadruple.

The Reds have already won the Carabao Cup, and they are in the FA Cup final where they will face Chelsea.

In the Champions League, goals from Sadio Mane and a deflected effort from Jordan Henderson helped them sink Villarreal in the semi-final first leg to put them in full control of the tie.

Finally, domestically, they remain hot on the heels of Manchester City, who cannot afford any slip ups in the title race with only five matches to go.
