""I can't believe it," Klopp told ESPN. "Being part of something for eternity is really special. Reaching that number of appearances is just like landing on the moon. Maybe it only happens once?""
"'Of all the success we had at Liverpool, nothing would've happened without him,' Klopp, who left Liverpool in June 2024, said as part of an ESPN feature on Milner's achievement. 'That's how it is really.'"
"Klopp, now Red Bull's Global Head of Soccer, described Milner as "probably the most disciplined, stubborn, professional football player I have ever worked with.""
James Milner became the all-time Premier League appearance leader, reaching 654 appearances after equalling Gareth Barry's 653. Milner debuted in the top flight as a 16-year-old for Leeds United in November 2002 and later represented Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton. The 40-year-old earned 61 England caps and won major trophies with Manchester City and Liverpool, including Premier League titles and the Champions League. Jürgen Klopp credited Milner as indispensable to Liverpool's achievements and characterized him as exceptionally disciplined, stubborn and professional during a long and decorated career.
