Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has paid tribute to the Reds support ahead of today's high noon clash with Burnley.
Writing in the match programme, Klopp reflected on the return to fans at Anfield.
He stated: “It was helpful for us to have the two home friendlies before the campaign got under way and it did serve as a measure of re-acclimatising. But nothing compares to when it's for real. And that will be today.
“For a start, the dynamic today is different because Burnley have their people here also. That changes things.
“We have the power and belief to make this season very special. But what makes this place special is the appreciation of the journey. A friend of mine who is closer to the fan culture than I could ever profess to be, said to me that people support Liverpool not because they are glory hunters but because they are journey hunters. I love this sentiment.
“Our 2021-22 journey is under way and we should enjoy every second of it. Not because we know we will have success or we expect it – but because we chase it together, as a collective.
“It feels like an adventure again and that is a wonderful sensation after so long apart. Welcome back – we've missed you like crazy."
