Jurgen Klopp defends his club’s Liverpool fans after they booed Prince William and the national anthem during the FA Cup final. This would not have happened “without reason”.
Another view: While the outrage in the football world over the boos by Liverpool fans towards Prince William and the national anthem just before the FA Cup final against Chelsea grows, coach Jürgen Klopp defends the behavior. So the Reds supporters would be “wonderful” and “won’t do it if there was no reason”.
Historical justification: Klopp does not yet understand the reason, but it is “certainly something historical”. Connor O’Neill, football editor of the Liverpool Echo, attributes the boos to the city’s dislike of Margaret Thatcher’s Tory government in the 1980s.
Unloved guest: Prince William attended the FA Cup final as heir to the British throne, but more specifically as President of the Football Association. The boos were already before the start of the anthem, but can also be heard during it. Similar behavior was reported at the Carabao Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea in the spring, which was also played at Wembley Stadium.
