Jurgen Klopp on Sunday finally said goodbye to the iconic Anfield Stadium and the fans as his nine year stint at Liverpool came to a close with a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. 

His final season in charge at Liverpool became a bit sour as from a position of potentially winning the Premier League, Carabao Cup and Europa League, the Merseyside Reds collapsed and had to settle for only a Carabao cup medal in the end.
