Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that he expects Liverpool fans to show respect to the tribute to the queen in tonight's Champions League clash with Ajax Amsterdam.

The Reds had asked UEFA for permission to honour the queen in a minute of silence before the match on Tuesday night. A section of Liverpool fans had booed the national anthem during the FA Cup and Carabao Cup final at Wembley last season.

According to the Guardian, the German tactician said that a minute of silence is the right thing to do.

I think it is the right thing to do but I don’t think our people need any kind of advice from me for showing respect.

Klopp also used Ronaldo's story as an example to the fans. The Manchester United star lost his son during childbirth in April and Liverpool fans at Anfield paid showed their respects to Ronaldo with applause in the 7th minute.

There are plenty of examples where our people showed exactly the right respect. One which surprised me and I was really proud of that moment was last season when we played Manchester United around a very sad situation with Cristiano Ronaldo’s family. And that is what I expect. For me, it is clear that’s what we have to do.

Klopp shares grief with the Royal Family

The 55-year-old said that he knew exactly what the Royal Family were going through since he also lost his mother last year and couldn't travel for the funeral due to Covid-19 restrictions.

I am 55 years old and she is the only queen of England I ever knew. As far as I know, I don’t know her, but the things you can see she was a really warm, nice, loved lady and that is all that I need to know.

Liverpool fans have for a long time expressed their anger towards the state most notably in the 1980s when they believed the government neglected the city.
