The Liverpool manager was full of praise for the painting.
Jurgen Klopp was brought to tears after a Liverpool supporter presented him with a hand painted canvas featuring the words "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Danke Jurgen".
Abigail Rudkin, a 23-year-old artist who specialises in football-related items, spent two months creating a piece that commemorates Klopp’s spell as Liverpool manager.
She was keen to highlight the unity he's created with fans and players since taking over – and a picture of him being lifted up after their Champions League win in 2019 certainly shows that.
After completing the piece back in April, Rudkin visited Liverpool's training ground on Thursday to meet Klopp, who was overwhelmed by the detailed painting.
"I love it. When I saw it, I had tears in my eyes," he said. "I don't have a lot of skills but I see a talent when I meet it. Abigail, you are obviously a real talent and I wish you all the best."
Here's how fans on social media reacted to the moment.
One said: "We’ve hung onto every word this man has said since day one and praised him for getting us, truly tapping into what makes us special and harnessing that power. But what’s most remarkable is that he hasn’t done it by design, it’s just the way he is. He’s going to be missed."
A second wrote: "This is amazing. Absolutely buzzing for you. That’s what it’s all about," while a third commented: "Jurgen Klopp is the soundest man on planet earth and nobody will tell me otherwise."
A fourth said: "She should be so proud of her achievements, and what a feeling it must be presenting your work to Jurgen himself," and a fifth added: "Genuinely heartwarming. You can see Klopp is being completely authentic and the happiness on Abigail's face is utterly priceless."
After nine trophy-laden years at the helm, the German manager will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
The 56-year-old, who attributed his decision to “running out of energy”, has lifted the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Club World Cup during his time at Anfield.
"I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again," he said in a surprise announcement in January.
"After the years we had together and after all the time we spent together and after all the things we went through together, the respect grew for you, the love grew for you and the least I owe you is the truth – and that is the truth."
