Jurgen Klopp is not bothered about when or where Liverpool lift the Premier League title as it will be an "absolutely exceptional day" regardless of the circumstances.


The English top flight is set to resume on June 17 following a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Liverpool requiring a maximum of two more wins to seal top spot.

Klopp is not convinced his side will have to play at neutral grounds and, even if that is the case, he is simply happy they will have a chance win a first league title in 30 years on the pitch.

"In the moment for me whenever it will be, in an empty stadium blah, blah, blah, with all the thoughts and prayers and love from the people all around the world it will still be an absolutely exceptional day in my life," Klopp told beIN SPORTS.

"Wherever it will be I don't know - we hope it will be at Anfield but we don't know and that's not important. I'm pretty sure that we can solve the situation here as well in Liverpool.

"We waited a while for this situation and it's not done yet; if we had stopped the league, or it would not have happened, the silly null and void stuff. 

"We wanted to play anyway and now we are really desperate to play because we want to become champions on the pitch and it looks like we can do that.

Social distancing rules remain in place in the United Kingdom and Klopp stressed the importance of supporters staying away from Anfield over the coming weeks.

"I heard a day ago a really good phrase, that we have the best home fans in the world, and now we need the best stay-at-home fans in the world," he said.

"So who cares, that's really not so important. We just want to be together in that moment and we will see how much close contact is allowed at the time."
