Last year Liverpool reached the final of the European Champions League, only to be beaten by Real Madrid, and in 2013 Klopp had led Borussia Dortmund into the final of the same competition, again to be denied victory by Bayern Munich who won 2-1.

Fans told local radio stations that Klopp would become as revered as much as Kop giants of the past such as Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. Some were describing Klopp more than a manager as a spiritual leader.

Along the route the streets were crowded to capacity in scenes not seen since 2017 when Liverpool won the same trophy.

Joining the victorious team bus at the head of a cavalcade was the American owner of Liverpool FC John Henry and his wife Linda Pizzuti Henry, along with club chairman Tom Werner.

Wives of the players and family members followed in a second open top bus as the parade slowly made its way. The sheer volume of people meant the tour took longer than expected to reach its destination in downtown Liverpool where the largest number of fans had gathered.

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson, a fan of rivals Everton FC, described the homecoming as truly amazing with hundreds of thousands welcoming the cup champions.

He said 250 media people were covering the parade, beaming film and pictures of a "truly global city" around the world.

Fans were joined at the world famous riverfront by crowds already there for a river festival and a Bordeaux wine festival.
