The Reds boss, first-team staff and members of the squad held a minute of silence and reflection ahead of their first training session at the club’s Tenerife base earlier today.

Afterwards, Klopp explained why it was important for the team to pay their respects to Moran’s life and Liverpool legacy.

He said: “It’s a sad day. I had the honour of meeting him last year around the League Cup final. Obviously I am not from Liverpool, I am not from England, and so I needed a little bit of help but when I heard about this very special story then it was really nice to meet him.
