These photos show Jurgen Klopp having the time of his life during the LFC victory parade.
Huge crowds turned out despite the Reds suffering Champions League heartbreak on Saturday night in Paris. Jurgen Klopp’s side were beaten 1-0 by Real Madrid.
But that didn’t stop Liverpool supporters from turning out in their thousands to celebrate a fine campaign for the club. As well finishing second in the Premier League, the Reds also claimed the League Cup and FA Cup - at the expense of Chelsea both times.

The 54-year-old manager was also all smiles as he celebrated with his team and supporters. In photos captured by our ECHO photographer, Klopp can be seen holding a trophy and pointing to the crowds.
Klopp's men claimed both domestic trophies, finished one point behind Manchester City in the top flight, and were narrowly beaten by Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. For several hours today, the squad and staff were driven towards town in an open top bus as they carried both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup to display to thousands of adoring fans.
Smoke and songs filled the air as a sea of red could be seen from South Liverpool all the way into the city centre, where there was a spectacular firework finale. It was a memorable day - and the vast show of support sent a clear message to any critics who questioned why these joyous scenes were taking place.
Children climbed bus stops, men climbed onto the Toby Carvery and others hired a cherry picker just to get a glimpse of their player, their winners. Red flags and scarves were waved as the team partied on the red bus while Calvin Harris provided the soundtrack to the parade with Dua Lipa's One Kiss blasting out above the crowds.
Fans ran alongside the bus in scenes the city has not seen since before the pandemic. At one point the Number 79 bus got caught in the crowds and the passengers rushed to the front of the top deck wave to the team.
As the bus made it on to The Strand fireworks and flares were left off from the three graces as confetti filled the air. The fans chanted and the players chanted back. Here is our look at the stunning crowd pictures from the day.
