Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was overcome with emotion as he dedicated the club's first league title in 30 years to the club's fans on Thursday. Klopp wiped away tears of joy during a TV interview minutes after Chelsea's 2-1 win against Manchester City sealed the Premier League crown for Liverpool. "It's such a big moment, I am completely overwhelmed," Klopp said. "Tonight it is for you out there. It's incredible," added Klopp.

A first league title in three decades caps a meteoric rise for the Reds back to the top of English football after Klopp arrived in 2015 with the club struggling just to break into the top four. But the former Borussia Dortmund coach remains hungry for more silverware in the coming years with most of his squad still in their prime.

'Exciting ride'

"What they did over the last two or three years is just exceptional and a pure joy for me to coach them," said Klopp, who watched City's defeat alongside his players at a hotel. "It's just been a really exciting ride from the first day I arrived and it is not over yet, that's the good thing. The team look like they have a good few years in their legs but for tonight, we just enjoy this moment. It is the best thing I can imagine, it's more than I ever dreamed of, to be honest."
