Jurgen Klopp taking over the Liverpool Instagram in 2018

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool came agonisingly close to immortality last season as they relentlessly pursued an unprecedented quadruple.

With 15 minutes of the Premier League season left to run and Aston Villa beating Manchester City, all four trophies were still within Liverpool’s grasp.

However, City’s incredible comeback soon sent a crushing hush around Anfield, wiping out their quadruple dreams in what felt like a heart-beart.

Only days later, they would come up against an inspired Thibaut Courtois in the Real Madrid goal as they fell short in the Champions League final.

While that last week was certainly one to forget, the season as a whole will live long in the memory.

The fact that Liverpool were still in the running for the full quota of silverware right up until the last day of the season was an incredible achievement in and of itself.

Klopp has built quite a side at Anfield, and with the signing of Darwin Nunes, is looking to go one better.

The German boss has proved to be the ultimate bargaining chip for Liverpool when going after potential signings, and a lot of that is down to his unrivalled man-management.

We can think of countless examples that show just how well Klopp gets on with his players but one of our favourites came during a training session in 2018.

The Liverpool social media team gave Klopp full reign over their official Instagram account and he took full advantage.

As his players were put through their paces on the treadmill, Klopp was on hand to provide some banter and take the mickey out of the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.
