Jurgen Klopp matches astonishing Sir Alex Ferguson record after Liverpool FA Cup win over Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp has become the second manager, behind Sir Alex Ferguson, to win all the major honours in England after he completed the set with Liverpool's FA Cup win over Chelsea at Wembley - albeit doing it six years faster than the former Manchester United boss.

The Liverpool manager won the Champions League in 2019 and then the Premier League the following year. A season without any honours followed before the Reds secured the Carabao Cup and FA Cup this time around.

Klopp has the chance to become a two-time Champions League winning manager when Liverpool take on Real Madrid in the final in Paris at the end of May.
