Jurgen Klopp is preparing for his final game in charge of Liverpool this Sunday.

The legendary manager will be leaving the club this summer after over eight years of incredible service, turning those inside Anfield from doubters into believers.

The Reds host Wolves this weekend in what is going to be an emotional afternoon on Merseyside, with a truly special era coming to an end.

Klopp has had plenty of time to reflect on his time at the club over the past few days as he readies his goodbyes and he took the time to blindly rank his favourite Liverpool moments - meaning he has to rank things one after the other without knowing what is to come.

Speaking with Redmen TV, the 56-year-old was asked to rank ten of the best moments from his incredible tenure - a difficult job indeed.

Here is how his list looked...

10. CHAOS AT CARROW ROAD

At number ten, Klopp put Liverpool's epic 5-4 victory over Norwich City during his first season at the club.

A truly bonkers game that swung in both directions, Adam Lallana's last-minute goal sparked an unbelievable celebration on the touchline - leading to Klopp losing his glasses.

It was a sign of things to come under Klopp.

9. JURGEN KLOPP'S DAD DANCING/PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE WIN

Now, Klopp was keen to ensure that lifting the Premier League title would be placed at number one and wasn't aware that the video he was shown of his less than spectacular dance moves actually symbolised this incredible moment.

So, in essence, this should be number one, although Klopp admitted his moves on the dancefloor don't deserve to be placed higher than ninth.

"The night is one but the dance is nine," Klopp joked.

8. THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT

It shows just how impressive Klopp's reign has been that winning the Carabao Cup this season against Chelsea - with a whole host of academy stars out on the pitch - only ranks eighth.

It was an incredible moment for the club given the circumstances and it has turned out to be Klopp's final trophy with the Reds.

Klopp said: "We had so may good moments that this is eighth - which is really hard!"

7. ALISSON'S MAGICAL HEADER

A goal that is still pretty unbelievable to this day, Alisson's bullet header in a 2-1 stoppage-time victory over West Brom comes in seventh -  a win that helped the Reds qualify for the Champions League in the 2020/21 season.

"On a personal level, it was one of the best afternoons of my life, one of the best things I ever saw in my life. Absolutely outstanding," said the German.

6. THE BORUSSIA DORTMUND MIRACLE

Up next was Dejan Lovren's finest moment in a Liverpool shirt, the Croatian heading home a stoppage-time winner in an incredible 4-3 comeback victory over Klopp's former employers Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League.

"It was tricky, it was that early that I came from Dortmund. It was really strange going back to Dortmund, doing the press conference, celebrating the goals, all these kind of things," admitted Klopp.

5. DIVOCK ORIGI DERBY MAGIC

For a player who didn't feature regularly for Liverpool, Divock Origi is at the heart of many of Klopp's best moments, including the 96th-minute win over Everton.

The famous goal, in which Jordan Pickford juggled the ball off his own crossbar, saw Liverpool win the Merseyside derby 1-0 and Klopp dash on to the pitch to celebrate with Alisson.

4. MO SALAH'S 'TITLE WINNER'

Coming in at number four is the moment in which even the most pessimistic Liverpool fans believed that the Reds were going to finally win the Premier League.

Alisson's long ball forward in stoppage time against rivals Manchester United saw Mohamed Salah race through on goal to double Liverpool's advantage and send them 16 points clear at the top of the table - with a game in hand.

3. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PARADE

Liverpool celebrated winning the 2018/19 Champions League in style with a parade in the city attended by half a million supporters.

It was an amazing day as the Reds basked in the glory of a sixth European Cup, with Klopp enjoying his drive through Liverpool.

"They are all [number] one!" Klopp joked. "Absolutely outstanding, absolutely outstanding."

2. GLORY IN MADRID

If the parade is number three, then winning the competition must rank higher. Klopp put the victory over Tottenham in the 2018/19 Champions League final in second, a night that no supporter will ever forget.

Salah's penalty and Origi's fantastic late strike secured the trophy for the Reds and saw Klopp's run of six straight final defeats come to an end.

1. THAT NIGHT AGAINST BARCELONA

Again, Klopp would have put the Premier League title victory as number one had he had the proper chance, but that night against Barcelona isn't a bad replacement.

Three goals down from the first leg, Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0 thanks to braces from Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum, sending them to the final against Spurs.

While maybe not Klopp's true number one choice, it would be for many Liverpool fans out there.
