There's no denying the power of Jurgen Klopp. A force of genuine characteristics who champions ethos above everything, Liverpool are starting to resemble traits that once made them such a titan of beautiful football. Klopp encourage the crowds at Anfield no end and it's subtle touches like insisting the players thank supporters for their efforts goes the distance. The ability to galvanise should not be underestimated, it's something all leaders at clubs have the ability to do and the Liverpool transition right now is testament to its positive affects.
Regardless of final scores, the atmosphere is one of belief. Paul Ripke has a unique ability to capture monumental moments whilst opening the door of accessibility. The acute line of sight to excite, it's an extraordinary talent. This piece marking the arrival of Klopp to the Kop has been delivered beautifully. You can see more of his work here. If you're still looking for something to get a devoted creative football appreciator then 'One Night in Rio' does not disappoint either.
