Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund legends played out a 2-2 draw at Anfield on Saturday in a charity match marked by the emotional return of Jurgen Klopp and a poignant tribute to the late Diogo Jota.
Anfield witnessed an emotional afternoon as Liverpool Legends drew 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund in an LFC Foundation charity match.
Early goals from Thiago Alcantara and Jay Spearing gave the Reds a lead before Mohamed Zidan and Jan Koller equalized.
The highlight remained Jurgen Klopp’s return to the dugout, which he capped with his “trademark celebration” of post-match fist bumps to a roaring Kop.
The most moving moment occurred during a 20-minute tribute to Diogo Jota.
Thiago Alcantara was seen breaking down in tears, pulling his shirt over his face as the stadium sang Jota’s iconic song.
The midfielder had arrived at the club alongside Jota in 2020. Reflecting on the atmosphere, Klopp was only too happy to engage with fans, signatures, and officials throughout the event.
