Jurgen Klopp delivered one final dressing room speech to his Liverpool players after his side's 2-0 win over Wolves on the final day of the Premier League season.
The German managed his last game in charge of Liverpool at Anfield, and received a guard of honour and special farewell ceremony after the full-time whistle blew.
It was an emotional occasion for Klopp, who even started off a new chant for his successor Arne Slot to the tune of 'Live is Life' by Opus.
Several of his longest-serving players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, gave emotional interviews about Klopp's impact and legacy at Anfield as he prepares to depart.
And after the squad and coaches performed a lap of honour following the Wolves win, the 56-year-old got his players together for one final time as Reds boss - before delivering a rousing and emotional speech.
He said: "I love you. That's all I can say.
"I can't wait to watch you develop, make the next steps.
"I said this morning - people who say 'That's not enough' [the seven trophies], they don't have a clue about football.
"Could we have done better moments? Yes, of course, it's always possible. Did we do better than we can usually expect? Oh yes. Because it takes longer to become a top team again, and you did that like this.
"We came in third in the first season of Liverpool 2.0, and from now on, with new energy from outside, with new influences, with new boosts, proving yourself and all these kinds of things. That's good for squeezing everything out of your career.
"I just want to say - I love you. It was absolutely outstanding - thank you for the ride.
"I am so proud of you, and so proud that I have been allowed to be part of this. Thank you very much."
The dressing room then burst into rapturous applause for their manager, who will now attend the Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid on June 1 before heading on a break from football.
Klopp has confirmed that he will not manage in England again. Although he hasn't completely ruled out taking another managerial role, it will be a while before we see the German on a touchline again - if he decides to return at all.
