Jurgen Klopp’s view carries weight as he has already achieved much success across modern soccer.

He won the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, the Premier League with Liverpool and also lifted the Champions League during his time at Anfield.

That record gives him authority beyond one dressing room. Klopp is respected across soccer, but his personality also makes him interesting when discussing other sports.

In that context, his latest answer is likely to spark debate, especially among soccer fans.

In a video on GOAL USA’s Instagram, Klopp was asked who is more iconic between Stephen Curry and Neymar.

He chose Curry, a surprising answer given soccer’s global reach and Neymar’s status as one of the most recognisable players of his generation.

The Brazilian’s legacy is still enormous. At his peak, he represented flair, imagination and technical quality in a way few players could match.

He became a defining figure for Brazil, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, while his style inspired younger fans who connected with his creativity.
