Klopp sends poignant message to Liverpool fans on Hillsborough anniversary

Jurgen Klopp has sent out his thoughts, prayers and love to Liverpool supporters on the 31st anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

At the 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, 96 people died when a crush developed in the Leppings Lane End of Sheffield Wednesday's home stadium.

A 2016 inquest found the fans were unlawfully killed due to failings by the police and ambulance services.

The Hillsborough Family Support Group had planned to stage its final memorial service at Anfield on Wednesday but the coronavirus pandemic forced a postponement.
