Initially, the original Klopp song was belted out, before the new ditty took over.
"I’m so glad, that Jürgen is a Red
I’m so glad, he delivered what he said
Jürgen said to me, you know
We’ll win the Premier League, you know
He said so
I’m in love with him and I feel fine"
Sung to the tune of The Beatles - I Feel Fine, it’s another anthem in the repertoire of songs fans sing at the match.
Klopp’s trip to the away end was by no means a celebration as some have suggested, but rather an opportunity for the manager to salute the supporters for their backing of his side in a game that had pulses racing.

The result means Liverpool are relying on City to drop points elsewhere in order to clinch the title once more but heading home from the Etihad, the mood on the coach was best summed up as defiant.
"They were hanging on at the end," one supporter, John, said. "Their fans were whistling for the final whistle as soon as it went to injury time. They knew we were the better team."
"That’s the supposed big one out of the way," another chimed in. "They have got to handle the pressure now and can’t falter because if they do, we’ll be there to go top."
Predictions for FA Cup semi-final

Hide AdAfter a pair of 2-2 draws in the league this season, the prediction of another fan, Phil, for the semi-final seems prescient: "You can guarantee it’ll go to penalties next week. They’re just so evenly matched."
The semi-final clash could be the rubber game between the two - unless both advance to the Champions League final.
If we get a repeat of the Etihad game, we are in for a treat at Wembley.
Let’s hope the Liverpool fans can belt out the new Klopp song at Anfield South after a win.
