I couldn't be more disappointed. This is not us - not in any way, says Klopp.

It was recently made clear that Trent Alexander-Arnold is leaving Liverpool when his contract expires this summer.

The 26-year-old right-back is expected to go to Real Madrid, who will then get him for free. This has created frustration among Liverpool's fans.

Alexander-Arnold was booed when he was substituted in the 2-2 match against Arsenal last week.

This was not appreciated by former Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp.

I watched the match and I heard the boos. I'm so old that I thought it was my hearing, so I turned up the volume and heard the boos again. Then I turned off the TV, says Klopp.

Klopp trained Alexander-Arnold throughout his entire time in Liverpool until last season, when Klopp left.

Together, they won both the Premier League and the Champions League.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be disappointed or angry. I'm saying you shouldn't forget (what Alexander-Arnold did for Liverpool). This club doesn't forget, says Klopp.

Every day, he gave absolutely everything for this club badge. Now he's decided to move on after 20 years. If anyone should be angry, it's the owners, but they're not angry.

Earlier, striker Mohamed Salah has also urged the fans to give Alexander-Arnold a nice farewell when Liverpool takes on Crystal Palace in Sunday's Premier League finale.
