Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed who the best player he has ever coached is.
The German tactician has worked with some excellent talents during his illustrious coaching career, with many of his Liverpool players, such as Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, considered among the best players in world football.
However, when he was asked who the greatest player he has managed in a recent interview, Klopp could not look past ex-Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski.
"Robert Lewandowski. It actually won't be fair to say that about any other player except Lewy," he told Sport Bild.
"What he has made out of his potential, how he pushed himself to become the player he is today, that's extraordinary.
"If every player has a development similar to Lewandowski, when I first saw him at Lech Poznan, then the football world would be completely crazy.
"All players would win all their duels, the full-backs would complete all their crosses, the midfielders would be strong in one against ones, the wingers would tackle and play precise long balls.
"Lewandowski made every step he had to make to become the goal machine he is today.
"He knows exactly what to do in every situation. He's an absolute machine. I would like to thank him and all the other players who made it look like as if I'm a very good coach."
The Polish forward scored 102 goals in 186 matches under Klopp at Dortmund, helping the club win two Bundesliga titles.
