After a car crashed into supporters at the end of a parade to celebrate the club’s Premier League title triumph, Jurgen Klopp, the beloved former manager of Liverpool, said there are more “serious things in the world than football.”
After 65 people were seriously injured in the shocking scenes of Monday, a 53-year-old man from the Liverpool area has been detained by police on suspicion of attempted murder and drug use.
Klopp, who left the English giants a year ago, was present for the parade.
As Klopp’s side won the 2019/20 league while there were restrictions on public gatherings as a result of Covid-19, the club and supporters had the first opportunity to celebrate a title triumph together for 35 years.
The League Managers’ Association awarded Klopp with an award after the presentation of an incredible mood and “from one second to the other, everything changed.”
“Thoughts and prayers go unquestionably to the injured people, as far as I am aware right now, and also to the families, of course, as well.
Because we didn’t get the chance to do that the last time, it should have been one of the best days in the city’s history.
Out of respect for the victims, Liverpool boss Arne Slot withdrew from the same occasion, where he was scheduled to receive a manager of the year award.
Even Liverpool’s most fervent rivals Manchester United, Everton, and Manchester City were among the clubs who showed their support for the Premier League champions and their supporters in the shock that followed.
Football is and always should be a game of rivalry, but it also provides a great sense of camaraderie, especially during times like this, Slot said in a statement.
I want to pay tribute to Liverpool’s emergency services and other authorities, who immediately took action.
I believe that everyone involved in the aftermath deserves our full appreciation, along with the supporters and bystanders who offered one another in times of need.
11 of the injured were still receiving treatment at a hospital on Tuesday, according to a press release from the police.
