Jurgen Klopp has promised there will be a parade for Liverpool supporters should they clinch the Premier League title.

The Reds are 25 points clear of champions Manchester City and only require two wins to secure a first league title in 30 years once the Premier League resumes on 17 June.

But under the current restrictions of lockdown in the UK, a title parade to celebrate would have complications.

Though Klopp maintains the club will be patient and eventually celebrate collectively with their fans.

“You celebrate always, wherever it is, you celebrate the Champions League first in Madrid in a hotel, a lot of people around and you don’t have time for your family. If you want, you can find issues with the situation,” ​Klopp told BBC Sport.

“If we will be champions, then whichever celebration is possible we will do as a team internally and with all our supporters in the moment when it is allowed to do so again.

“I can promise if it happens, there will be a parade as well. Whenever? Who cares? We only need one day when everybody will come and then we will do that.”

The German also revealed he has missed the game a great deal since its suspension on 13 March due to coronavirus.

“I have missed it so much it’s unbelievable,” Klopp added. “I know it’s not the most important thing in life but it is my passion. I hope the people are looking forward to it because we are.”
