VIDEO: Klopp says his new glasses make him look like a serial killer

Jurgen Klopp’s eyewear are the most famous inanimate object since a certain carbon rod.

The Simpsons foretold this…

Cut to 2016, and the press can’t seem to get enough of Jurgen Klopp’s glasses. Including us, this story couldn’t exist in a vacuum.

Forget Stoke on Tuesday night. Forget the fact that they have one of the worst defensive records in the Premier League. Forget THAT game against Norwich.

It’s all about Klopp’s new glasses, and the fact that he looks like a serial killer.

He said: “They’re not a new pair, just my second one, and I look a little bit like a serial killer!”

Klopp’s original pair died a death when Christian Benteke, on-side for once, divorced them from his manager’s face in the celebrations of Adam Lallana’s late winner on Saturday.

“I won’t be asking Christian for a new pair. It was my fault and never in my life has anyone had to pay for my mistake.”
