Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his profound sorrow and emphasised that “there are more serious things in the world than football” after a car tragically ploughed into supporters during a parade celebrating the club’s Premier League title on Monday.
The incident resulted in 65 injuries, with a 53-year-old local man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and drug use.
Klopp, who departed Liverpool a year ago but attended the parade, reflected on the abrupt shift in mood.
“The mood was incredible, and from one second to the other, everything changed,” he stated upon receiving an award from the League Managers’ Association.
He extended his thoughts and prayers to the injured and their families, noting that the day “should have been one of the greatest days in the history of the city.”
This parade marked the first opportunity in 35 years for the club and its fans to collectively celebrate a league title, as their 2019/20 victory occurred under COVID-19 restrictions.
In solidarity, new Liverpool manager Arne Slot withdrew from the same event where he was to receive a manager of the year award.
Even fierce rivals like Manchester United, Everton, and Manchester City offered their support.
Slot issued a statement highlighting football’s “comradeship” in such times and commended the swift response of emergency services, authorities, and fans who assisted one another.
Police reported on Tuesday that 11 of the injured remain hospitalised in stable condition.
