How do you explain to a blind person what colour is? — Jürgen Klopp

"He likes having the ball, playing football, passes. Its like an orchestra. But its a silent song. I like heavy metal."

"It is not my sport. I don’t like winning with 80% [possession]. Sorry that is not enough for me. Fighting football, not serenity football, that is what I like. What we call in German ‘English’ — rainy day, heavy pitch, 5-5, everybody is dirty in the face and goes home and cannot play for weeks after."

"Were facing the greatest challenge there is in football: to play against an Italian team that only needs a draw."

"Mkhitaryan fits us like an arse on a bucket. What he offers is exactly what we need."

"For me, football is the only thing more inspiring than the cinema. You wake up in the morning, and the magic was all real."

"I think it was my first red card as a manager, I went to the assistant referee and I said: ‘How many wrong decisions are allowed? Because if it’s 15 we have one left.’"
