How many Liverpool games Jurgen Klopp has left | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp shocked the football world on Friday morning when he announced that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Indeed, the Reds' boss has unexpectedly announced that he will be leaving Anfield at the end of the season, meaning his tenure on Merseyside now has an official expiration date.

Between now and then, however, Klopp could gazump Kenny Dalglish and Bill Shankley for trophies won - if Liverpool triumph in every competition they're currently in to finish the season with a domestic treble and the Europa League title. That would see Klopp end his Liverpool spell with eleven trophies to his name, one more than Dalgish and Shankley and only bettered by Bob Paisley. But there's a long way to go between now and the end of the campaign. So who stands in Klopp's way of finishing his Reds career on the high of a quadruple? GIVEMESPORT takes a look at the German gaffer's route to glory.

Premier League

17 fixtures remaining

There are still plenty of fixtures to go for Klopp before he can call it a day at Anfield, with 17 remaining in the Premier League alone. The Reds are in a strong position to achieve their record-equalling 20th domestic league title this season, currently sitting five points clear at the top.

In order to claim that crown, Klopp and co will have to overcome some tricky obstacles. Trips to the Emirates and Old Trafford should prove to be feisty encounters, as well as one final Merseyside derby at Everton in March. All eyes will be firmly focused on the crunch match against title rivals Manchester City. Currently scheduled to take place the week before Liverpool's trip to Goodison Park, the fixture will likely prove to be important for the title race as it has been for the last number of years.

Of course, the dates of these fixtures are subject to change depending on how far Liverpool are able to progress in other competitions. What is likely set in stone, though, is that the German's last league game in charge will take place in front of his adoring supporters on the 19th May. Regardless of whether any silverware is lifted on that day, it is certain to be an emotional and fitting farewell to one of the club's greatest-ever managers.

Europa League

7 fixtures remaining

The one major honour that has so far alluded Klopp during his 8-year reign is the Europa League. To his credit, that is largely due to the success he has had in Europe's elite competition instead. However, the German may be looking to right one of the very few wrongs of his tenure.

Liverpool did reach the final of the competition back in 2016. There, they met perennial winners Sevilla and fell short in a 3-1 defeat. It was the former Mainz defender's first final as The Reds' boss. In an ironic twist of fate, it may also be his last. In order to reach the final stage of the tournament, they will have to go through three two-legged ties between March and May. Although these fixtures have yet to be drawn, the English club do appear to be one of the remaining favourites, alongside AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen. Should Liverpool come across the latter team towards the final stages, they could be seeing themselves go head to head with their possible future manager in the form of Xabi Alonso.

FA Cup

5 fixtures remaining

The oldest prize in English football is still up for grabs for Klopp's men, with their next challenge taking place this Sunday against Championship side Norwich City. What may concern Liverpool fans is that this is typically the round their side tends to bow out of the competition under the German. Since the 2015/2016 season, the Reds have been eliminated at this stage on five occasions. This includes last season's competition where they lost to a stoppage-time winner at Brighton.

From a more positive perspective, the 2022 edition of the FA Cup provides some hope, as Liverpool managed to lift the trophy after defeating Chelsea on penalties. With the motivation of it being Klopp's final opportunity to win the competition potentially being strong, the right-time winners have to be considered as one of the favourites. With this final taking place three days after the Europa League final, this is the latest date Klopp could oversee his final Liverpool match.

Carabao Cup

The first step to leaving Liverpool with a famous quadruple is less than a month away. Having secured their place in the Carabao Cup final after overcoming Fulham in the semi-final, Klopp will now face a side who he has domestic cup final history with. In 2022, Chelsea were beaten in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup final by the Reds. You would have to assume that this will make the Blues desperate to ruin the German's perfect ending to an incredible tenure.

However, with form and previous results on Liverpool's side, they will be confident of being able to bring home the first piece of silverware available to them this season.
