Jurgen Klopp has secured an impressive accomplishment three months before his exit from Liverpool. The German will step down this summer.
Jurgen Klopp doesn’t have many games left as Liverpool manager – only six home games in the Premier League, in fact. It’s not a nice thing to hear.
He’ll step down as Liverpool boss after this season, bringing an end to a spectacular nine years in charge (or thereabouts). Klopp has helped transform the Reds from an incredibly inconsistent giant into one of the absolute best in the world.
And to show off just how consistent Liverpool have become, Klopp secured a brilliant accomplishment on Wednesday. His team beat Luton Town 4-1 at Anfield and with that, the boss has beaten every side he’s ever faced in the Premier League (per Opta’s Michael Reid).
This is only the second time Klopp has faced Luton, of course, with the Hatters earning promotion last season. The first meeting finished in a disappointing draw for Liverpool – and they were headed that way at Anfield, too.
Luton took the lead and went into half-time 1-0 up. The Reds turned things around dramatically in the second half, however, scoring four times to win comfortably.
And so with that, Klopp has at least one win against every single Premier League team to come up against his Liverpool side over the years. It’s a wonderful accomplishment ahead of his exit (Klopp won’t face anyone new before he leaves, of course).
But it won’t be the final accomplishment you hear about before he’s off. Klopp’s record is such that he’ll be chasing a few records before walking away.
Perhaps the ‘biggest’ is in the Europa League as the German attempts to win the trophy and with it, win every trophy he’s competed for as Liverpool boss. Klopp’s first season saw him fall in the final – hopefully, he can go one better this time around.
