Tennis legend Boris Becker showed his support for Liverpool after they secured a vital 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, April 30. Becker, a close friend of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, took to social media to share his joy for the Reds.
He posted a picture of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota on his social media handle. Jota scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time at Anfield after Spurs had made it 3-3 despite being 3-0 down at one point.
“YNWA” (You’ll Never Walk Alone), the club’s anthem and motto: Becker wrote
Becker also shared a video of Klopp celebrating on the pitch after the final whistle. The clip showed Klopp pumping his fist towards the Anfield crowd, in his trademark style.

"That's how we like it boss," Becker wrote on his Instagram story.
Liverpool’s victory over Tottenham moved them into fifth place in the Premier League table, demoting Spurs to sixth. Manchester City currently lead the table.
Becker, who won three Wimbledon titles and six Grand Slams in total, has been a loyal fan of Klopp and Liverpool for years. He once revealed that the German manager tried to visit him while he was in a UK prison for bankruptcy fraud.
Boris Becker praises Liverpool's unbeaten PL run under Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool's recent run of five unbeaten games in the Premier League also caught the attention of Boris Becker, who heaped praise on manager Jurgen Klopp. The streak began with a goalless draw against Chelsea on April 5, which was followed by a 2-2 draw against Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.
The Reds then dominated Leeds United 6-1 before edging Nottingham Forest 3-2. On May 26 they secured a 2-1 win over West Ham United, with goals from Cody Gakpo and Joel Matip.
Becker took to social media to express his admiration for Klopp and the team's performance. The German tennis star did not mention any specific player or highlight any particular moment, but commended Klopp for his leadership and dedication to the club.
"Word," Becker wrote on his Instagram story.
Liverpool are currently seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have a game in hand. The Reds look likely to miss the UEFA Champions League next season but will hope to make it to the Europa League at least.
