Yet Klopp has remembered Ferdinand wanted the 2019/20 season declared null and void after play was stopped due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Liverpool had led the table for much of the campaign and went on to win the Premier League.

 

Speaking to Redmen TV, Klopp said: “Rio Ferdinand I think said it, ‘I think you should null and void the league’. I forgot that actually that he was [the one who said that] because I gave him an interview only recently. It was not a good interview anyway!”
