Former Liverpool boss, Jürgen Klopp, has said he would throw a party if Manchester City were stripped of their titles by the Premier League, due to breaches of financial regulations.
The Reds finished runners-up behind City twice while Klopp was in charge.
Pep Guardiola’s men pipped Liverpool first in 2018-19 and again in 2021-22.
The Premier League referred the City to an independent commission in February 2023 over 115 alleged contraventions of financial rules dating from 2009 to 2018.
The club have always denied any wrongdoing.
During his first public appearance as Red Bull’s head of global soccer, Klopp was asked about how he would react if City are found guilty and the league titles are removed from their honours list.
“We had this discussion when I left,” Klopp said.
“I haven’t spent a lot of time in Mallorca because I am always flying around the place.
“But if it would happen, I told all the people who wanted to [come]: ‘Just book a flight to Mallorca. I will buy the beer!’ We’d have our own parade in my garden.”
