Jurgen Klopp has reflected on the special moment he experienced during his return to Anfield last weekend for the Liverpool Legends fixture against one of his previous clubs, Borussia Dortmund, where he assumed a new role as an assistant manager to Sir Kenny Dalglish in the Anfield technical area.

Dalglish was in charge of the Liverpool Legends, and Klopp stood alongside goalscoring legends Ian Rush and John Aldridge on the sidelines to assist the Kop icon, which represented Klopp's first appearance at Anfield since witnessing the Reds, now managed by his replacement Arne Slot, secure the Premier League title against Crystal Palace on the campaign's closing day.

Liverpool started the match strongly, with Thiago scoring a goal after only six minutes, and Jay Spearing extended the lead with a spectacular effort before the interval, giving Liverpool a solid foundation to build on.

However, Dortmund fought back after the restart, as Mohamed Zidan reduced the deficit just after the hour, and Jan Koller subsequently levelled the score, preventing Liverpool from claiming victory and making the match more competitive.

On Instagram, Klopp discussed his 'dream' homecoming to Liverpool, emphasizing what a privilege it was to work beside three Reds icons, which was an unforgettable experience for him.

He wrote: "A dream you don't dare to dream became true: my first time as an assistant coach in my life, and what an honour to assist Sir Kenny, alongside Ian and John, and I hope I did an okay job, and surely we've had a lot of fun..."

Speaking after Saturday's match, Klopp said: "I enjoyed every second of the experience, and my role was definitely not to have a lot of words, as I was there for the Foundation and to be part of a really special experience, which was a unique opportunity for me to be involved in.

Klopp continued: "For me, it was a very special experience after a while - being around, being that close, seeing all the Liverpool lads, and then seeing the Dortmund lads as well, because that was like 80 per cent of my players, and it was great to catch up with them.

He added: "And you don't meet very often and have them all together in one room, which made it a really cool experience, and it was really, really, really nice to see everyone together and having a good time.

Klopp also praised the performance of one of the players, saying: "And the people suck it in, and it's just so nice to see all the boys playing, but I think Thiago alone was worth the ticket, as he put on an impressive display.
