Liverpool manager Klopp’s missing ring found by camera crew

Jurgen Klopp's joy at seeing Liverpool secure a big Premier League victory turned to dismay when he briefly lost his wedding ring during post-match celebrations on Monday.

It took the keen eye of a television cameraman to locate the ring in the middle of the Anfield pitch. A relieved Klopp responded by kissing the ring in front of the cameras.

“I had a huge shock,” Klopp said, “but it’s back.”

The incident happened moments after Liverpool's 4-2 victory over Newcastle United, which moved Klopp's side three points clear of Aston Villa in the table.

Klopp congratulated his players and walked towards the supporters applauding, before realizing that he no longer had his wedding ring. He walked around the grass near where he stood, even asking a steward if he wouldn't mind helping him with the search.

The Liverpool manager was then informed of the ring's whereabouts by the person operating the camera for British broadcaster Sky Sports.

“Oh my God, that would have been really horrible,” Klopp said. “I lost him once in my life. I needed a professional diver because he was at sea.

“Every now and then, when I lose a kilo or two, it’s no longer the right solution.”
