Augsburg present Jurgen Klopp with giant pretzel after Europa League clash

Published Feb. 19, 2016 3:01 p.m. ET

If you've ever had the privilege of visiting Bavaria, you probably know it's home to the world's tastiest and biggest pretzels, or "Brezn," as the locals say. That's not debatable, it's a fact.

Just ask Jurgen Klopp. 

Liverpool's German manager is known to be a huge fan of them, so, after his first match back in the homeland since moving to Merseyside -- Thursday's 0-0 draw at Augsburg in the Europa League -- the gracious hosts presented him with a fresh, warm pretzel the size of his head.

Klopp could hardly contain his glee, taking a couple satisfactory bites before starting his post-game press conference.

That alone was worth the trip.
