The 2026 World Cup in North America will see a host of Klopp's former pupils going head-to-head. One particular fixture that has caught the former manager's eye is a potential clash between two of his longest-serving lieutenants, Scotland's Andy Robertson and Brazil's Alisson Becker.
"I hope my players will have a great World Cup," Klopp added. "I hope that Andy Robertson and Alisson Becker can enjoy that when they meet each other. Can you imagine that you play together for such a long time and Scotland qualifies first time, I don't know, since when, for the World Cup, and you meet each other, your friends, your mutual friends, and you meet each other in a game like that? I mean, that must be one of the happiest moments in your life."
