Who gets a medal?

Whilst players who make five or more appearances or more are due to get a medal, backroom staff are also eligible for them as long as the club sees fit.

Currently 22 players are guaranteed to leave Anfield with a memoir of their incredible season.

Klopp spoke to Sky Sports about the importance of acknowledging the team effort, he said: ”If people don’t understand how important the squad is to win the championship then I can’t help them to be honest.

“If you have zero games you should win a medal, if you are part of the squad you should get a medal.

“If you are the second goalie and you have less games you should have a medal, because you train five million times over a year and if you don’t train at the highest level then you have no chance to win the championship.

“These boys will get a medal 100 per cent – I will produce it myself, eh? One hundred per cent they can have my medal.”

The selfless manager went onto say that he will personally give medals to everyone if they aren’t awarded one by the Premier League directly.
