No. Well, it doesn’t seem like it…

Earlier this year, the former Liverpool manager insisted that he would only return to Anfield if the title were wrapped up.

Klopp shared that he planned to be in attendance for the Reds’ final game of the season against Crystal Palace.

And, of course, he will be present for the celebrations…

“Yes, the plan is [to be there for the celebrations] but not on the bus,” Klopp said during a fundraising event in Cape Town. “I will be there where the people are. That’s the idea, but we will see.”

He added: “I will be there for the last game. I didn’t want to go earlier, to be honest, because I didn’t want to jinx it!

“They win all the time, and I’m the first time in the stadium and they lose! So, I’ll go there when it’s decided.”

Steve Davis lauded Luca Brecel after the Belgian produced a scintillating session of snooker at the World Championship on Saturday. Brecel dominated Ding Junhui in the early stages of their second round showdown as he ended the evening with a 7-1 advantage.

Ding began the match with a mesmerising break of 141 to take the lead but was forced to sit back and watch Brecel find his top form from thereon in. Brecel hit breaks of 121, 78, 55, 100 and 88 to win seven frames on the bounce as he put himself well and truly in the driving seat to reach the quarter-finals.

Brecel struck a remarkable shot to pot the black and break up the red balls in the final frame of the evening as he demonstrated his prodigious talents with the cue.

And BBC commentator Steve Davis, who won the World Snooker Championship six times, said: “What an effort that was, I can’t tell you how hard that is to do.”

The 67-year-old then made a massive comment about Brecel’s performance as he exclaimed: “We’ve witnessed the most amazing exhibition of snooker, in one session, I think I’ve ever seen at the Crucible.”

He added: “Not in an exhibition match, the World Championship. He’s done this to one of the greatest players that’s ever held a cue, Ding Junhui. Totally taken the thunder from that first frame. Incredible stuff.”

John Virgo, who was also in the commentary box, was taken aback by Brecel’s performance as well as he purred: “Literally just blown him away.”

After Brecel had closed out the final frame of the evening, Virgo added: “Scintillating, superb, any superlative you want to use, it might just not be enough to describe this performance.”

Davis then called for a standing ovation at the end of the session, which the crowd duly delivered.

Brecel tasted victory at the World Snooker Championship in 2023 after getting the better of Mark Selby in the final.

The 30-year-old has struggled for form in recent years, however, and has spent long periods of time training for Ironman triathlons.

He has hit the headlines in recent times due to his reluctance to book hotel stays during some tournaments in favour of flying to snooker locations on the day of matches. And on Saturday he arrived in Sheffield just hours before his Crucible showdown with Ding was due to get underway after taking a private jet from Belgium in the afternoon.

Conor Benn teased a potential rematch with Chris Eubank Jr in a classy interview after losing to his bitter rival via unanimous decision. The highly-anticipated bout went the way of the older fighter, who honoured his legendary father by claiming the spoils after 12 punishing rounds. Neither man left anything on the table in a fight which clearly meant more than just winning.

All three judges scored it 116-112 in favour of Eubank despite how close it was from the first bell to the final seconds of the last round. Benn was visibly distraught as the decision was read out and appeared to be holding back tears as he embraced his father Nigel. He kept it classy in his post-fight interview, though, as he refused to dispute the outcome.

Benn also played down his bitter war of words with the Eubank camp before the bout, dismissing it as nothing more than fighting talk.

“I don’t know,” he said. “Maybe fourteen months out of the ring played a factor. That’d be the only thing, inactivity. Apart from that, I felt like it was a close fight. I’m not going to go ‘yeah I think I won it’ and all that.

“I’ve got to watch it back. I know it was close. I stayed on the ropes maybe a bit too long. He worked harder towards the end. But I’ll have to watch it back.

“I enjoyed it and a massive thank you to all my supporters who came out. Some homecoming. We always knew Chris is a good fighter. All the fighting talk is fighting talk. He’s a good fighter.”

Benn went on to insist that while he would be open to a rematch with Eubank, he would also be happy to return to welterweight and face Mario Barrios for a world title shot.

“If we don’t do the rematch, which I’d love to avenge that loss, I’ll drop down to welterweight and win the WBC world title,” he added. “It’s either Mario Barrios or the rematch with Eubank. Whichever happens next, I’ll be content with.”

His father Nigel also spoke in the immediate aftermath of the fight to emphasise the importance of losing gracefully. He made it clear that he was proud of his son despite the result, pledging to examine what went wrong and go back to the drawing board.

“I thought he did really well,” said the elder Benn. “He’ll learn a lot from this. He’ll come back stronger. He was working too much on the ropes.

“He should’ve been off the ropes, but we’re not taking anything away from Chris. It’s his night. We can handle defeat gracefully, you know what I mean? Now we go back to the drawing board and look where we went wrong. That’s it.”
