Jurgen Klopp has told the world that he would love to experience hurling and Gaelic football live in the future.

If you ever needed another reason to love Jurgen Klopp and his soft spot for the Irish then look no further.

The Liverpool manager found himself in the headlines this week in the Irish media after visiting Reds fan Sean Cox, who was left in a critical state following a brutal attack outside Anfield earlier this year.

Liverpool were in Ireland for a preseason friendly against Napoli in the Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

Now, he has expressed his admiration for the two Irish national sports, citing his wish to experience both live in a recent interview.

Speaking to the Echo, Klopp admitted that attending both a football and hurling matchup live is on his bucket list.

“I have to watch hurling in Ireland.” “I also need to go to a Gaelic football match live for sure. “I have this kind of list and seeing the All Blacks playing rugby is on there too, probably a home game.”

The world of hurling, in particular have been treated to some absolute classics this campaign so hopefully when the time does come, the famed coach can find himself in the stands when another cracker gets underway.
