Jurgen Klopp was sincere when talking about Liverpool’s fall to Real Madrid and took everyone by surprise; see details
O Liverpool was eliminated by Real Madrid at Champions LeagueIt is Jurgen Klopp he did not hide his frustration at leaving the competition still in the round of 16. The confrontation between the two European giants took place last Wednesday, the 15th, at the Santiago Bernabéu, and the Reds were unable to reverse the 5-2 adverse score and were still eliminated with a 1-0 defeat.
The frustrating elimination, mainly due to the way it happened, left Jurgen Klopp down. After the game between Real Madrid and Liverpool in the Champions League, the coach spoke to “BT Sports” and did not hide his sincerity. According to the German coach, the team that advanced to the quarterfinals deserved the result in both matches. Despite the improved performance in the game at the Santiago Bernabéu, the Reds didn’t even scare the Merengues.
In Klopp’s assessment, his team even delivered good football in the return match, but he stressed that Real Madrid deserved a place in the next phase of the Champions League. The Liverpool coach also highlighted the “sensational” saves that Alisson made throughout the game and ensured that the Spaniards’ classification was indisputable.
“Being 5-2 behind is obviously not a good result. If you want to pass, you really need a special performance and that’s not what happened today. It was an open game, but Madrid had the best chances. Alisson had to make two sensational saves. The goal was awkward, but of course it was no longer decisive. The right team passed, that’s what we have to admit. Madrid controlled the game“, he stated.
Owner of six Champions League titles, Liverpool had not fallen in the Champions League round of 16 since the 2019/20 season. Since then, the Reds had reached the quarterfinals and also the 2021/22 final. Of the last seven editions, the team managed to reach the Champions League final three times, but won only once and was defeated twice by Real Madrid.
