A barren race is now over and a team that had just missed the Premier League title in 2018-19 is back at the top of the European match.
Klopp is considered an integral part of the progress made in Merseyside since his arrival in October 2015, Henderson being quick to acknowledge his influence.
The skipper of the Reds said BT Sport after getting his hands on a famous trophy: "Without this manager, it is impossible.
"You're going through tough times in a season, but what he's done since his arrival is incredible.
"There is such a union, he has created a special cloakroom – all the praise goes to the manager."
While Klopp silenced those who questioned his record in English football, Henderson also has a prize for recognizing his value – which can sometimes be underestimated.
The English international, however, is eager to point out that success is based on a collective effort: the goals of Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi help the Reds to defeat the Spurs.
He added, "I am so proud to be part of this football club and crowning it so special is so special to me.
"I'm just trying to do my best every time I play football and help my team, whatever happens." I had a hard time but I kept going – just like this club.

"It's the best time of my life, that's what I've been dreaming about since I was a kid.
"It's not about me, I'm not captain or lift the trophy, but about this club, these players, this manager. Now we must continue and launch. "
Before looking to win other honors with Liverpool's next term, Henderson has the chance to get his hands on international silverware with the Three Lions in the final stage of the League of Nations – with a date semi-final with the Netherlands on Thursday.
