Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said it was 'extraordinary moment' when his players took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Reds boss revealed it was the players who spontaneously decided on Monday they should group together to make a stand following the death of African American George Floyd, who was killed in US city of Minneapolis on May 25.
There have been demonstrations and protests across the world after a white police officer continued to kneel on Mr Floyd's neck for several minutes, even as he said he could not breathe.
Klopp told German broadcaster Sky Sport: 'For us, dealing with each other and Black Lives Matter is very natural - especially if you look at our team: we have players from Africa, from England and so on with a corresponding background.
