Jurgen Klopp Compares Two Journalists to Muppets Characters Waldorf & Statler

We hope Jurgen Klopp never changes. Ever.

The Liverpool boss has had a pretty good week, beating Norwich in an epic Premier League match, before reaching his first cup final as Reds boss.

So it’s unsurprising that the German was in a typically upbeat mood as he met the media this afternoon, ahead of Saturday’s home match against West Ham in the fourth round of the FA Cup, and a video has emerged online showing him comparing two journalists to Muppets characters Waldorf & Statler.

As journalists set up their equipment and prepare for the pre-match press conference to begin, a cheeky grin appeared on Klopp’s face, and he quickly made the comparison between the unnamed journalists and the cantankerous old hecklers from the famous puppet show.

It’s a moment like this why so many fans, regardless of their allegiances, love Klopp the world over.

So, it turns out The Muppets Show is big in Germany, who knew, eh?

Oh, and if you’re not familiar with Waldorf and Statler, check them out at their best here…
