Captain Jordan Henderson, who did not play the match against Chelsea due to a knee injury, was last up on the specially built grandstand at the Kop and lifted the dent to great cheers. The players' relatives had been allowed to stay at the arena, which seats 53,000 spectators.
For coach Jürgen Klopp, it was a special moment. He has led his team from the coaching staff on the long side. It has been his place until last night.
- I have never been to the Kop before, it was special, says Klopp according to AP.
"Celebrate with those we have in our hearts"- It makes sense the moment when the people are not here, that we can use the Kop to celebrate with those we have in our hearts, says the German coach emotionally.
The players and leaders then gathered on the field and sang the club anthem "You'll never walk alone" together. It is the fans who normally sing that song when the players make their entrance at Anfield.
- It would have been better if the fans had been here, a crowded stadium would have been perfect but it is not possible to do anything about this, says Klopp who wants to celebrate big with the fans when the pandemic situation allows it.
Outside Anfield, thousands of fans had defied the authorities' and the club's appeal to stay at home. They celebrated by singing, climbing fences, shooting fireworks and riding around in cars and honking. The police were seconded but kept their distance.
