Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is “the George Clooney of football” according to German photographer Paul Ripke, with the Reds coach considered to be in a league of his own in terms of personality and management skills.
Ripke, who followed Formula 1 stars Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton on their respective championship seasons, rose to prominence after taking a series of now famous photos of the German national team as they won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
From there his career in photography only blossomed, going on to take shots of some of the most famous athletes and sportspersons in the world – one of who was Klopp, after he had swapped Borussia Dortmund for Liverpool.
