Klopp's presence at Allianz Parque drew significant attention and was mentioned in Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira's post-game press conference.
Ferreira, who has won 10 trophies with Palmeiras since October 2020, finished six points behind Botafogo in the latest Carioca Serie A.
Ferreira told reporters: ”Today there was a gentleman here called Klopp, who won fewer titles in eight years at Liverpool than my coaching staff here at Palmeiras.
“So don't come and talk to me about being hungry for titles."
