Former Manchester United and Arsenal managers Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger were left stunned by the Liverpool supporters rendition of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ on Saturday.
The Reds faithful were in full voice in Madrid as their team claimed a sixth European Cup with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final.
Mourinho and Wenger were taken aback by the fans’ support: “Now this is more beautiful than what we can say,” Mourinho declared on beIN SPORTS. “This is beautiful.”
Wenger chimed in: “This is unique, you know?”

OPINION
Mourinho and Wenger are absolutely right, here. The unwavering support from the Liverpool supporters was in full evidence on Saturday as they roared their team to victory from start to finish. There’s nothing quite like when the Reds fans all come together to belt out ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, and you can see how moved the two men are in the video above. These are two managers who have no love for Liverpool. They competed fiercely against the club for many, many years with three different English teams between them. Yet they can’t help but respect and admire the support that the Reds’ faithful give their team each and every game. They were in full voice in Madrid, backing their team to the hilt, and they got their reward after witnessing their players come up short against Real Madrid a year ago. Credit to them for the backing they gave Jurgen Klopp’s team. Mourinho and Wenger were clearly very impressed.
