Jurgen Klopp defends Trent Alexander-Arnold, slamming Liverpool fans for booing him and urging respect for his legacy and loyalty.
Former manager of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has strongly criticised sections of the club’s fanbase for booing Trent Alexander-Arnold during the team’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on May 11.
The incident occurred shortly after it was announced that the long-serving right-back would leave Liverpool this summer, ending a 20-year journey with the club to join Real Madrid.
Klopp, speaking at a fundraiser for the LFC Foundation on Friday, did not hold back in his reaction to what he saw—and heard—during the game.
“I don’t want to tell you what you have to think but I can tell you what you think is wrong. Because I’m an old man and I don’t waste time hiding my opinions,” he declared as per Athletic.
Pulse Sports looks at three explosive reasons Klopp gave for being furious about the fans’ reaction:
3. It Shows a Lack of Perspective
Klopp was stunned that supporters could forget the critical moments Alexander-Arnold delivered for the club. He reminded them of just how pivotal the defender has been.
“This boy, 18 years old, scored a free-kick in Hoffenheim where if he doesn’t score that we don’t qualify for the Champions League,” Klopp recalled.
“Against Barcelona he did the most cheeky thing in the world and set up the goal for 4-0, a result and a game which will not happen again.”
Klopp’s message: did not let a transfer overshadow a legacy.
2. It Goes Against What Liverpool Stands For
)
For Klopp, Liverpool is more than results and contracts—it’s about values. Hearing boos for a homegrown player hurt him deeply and represented, in his view, a departure from what the club represents.
“I watched the game when he came on and I heard the booing. I needed another 10 seconds to realise and then I switched the telly off,” Klopp admitted.
“Honestly, I could not have been more disappointed at this moment. This is not us, 100 per cent.”
The reaction was more than disappointing—it was personal.
1. It Betrays a Player Who Gave Everything
)
In Klopp’s eyes, Alexander-Arnold is not merely leaving—he has earned his place in the club’s history through tireless commitment and loyalty.
“He gave absolutely everything. He wears the Liverpool badge in the skin,” Klopp said.
“But now he plays next year for another club and we decide how we deal with that.”
The final and most emotional reason centers on Klopp’s belief that loyalty should be remembered—not erased—because of a transfer.
Klopp prepares to return to Anfield on Sunday for Liverpool’s final Premier League match of the season against Crystal Palace and his remarks serve as both a warning and a plea.
