Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to blast UCL referee, Felix Brych for his performance in the game vs Real Madrid.He recently revealed that the German official performed like he had something personal against Mane.
According to him, he doesn’t understand what the ref was doing at all, because he kept seeing legit fouls on the Senegalese as a dive from the player.
Klopp added that the match official was very unfair in the game, even if Liverpool didn’t deserve to win.
His words, “The situation with Sadio, I have to say what the referee did tonight I don’t understand. For me that was something personal, because he dealt with the situation with Sadio, which is a clear foul, like it was a dive or something.”
“And from that moment whenever Sadio went down, he couldn’t get anything anymore. That’s just not right.”
“That’s what I told him after the game, that I just thought he was unfair with Sadio, and that’s how it is.”
“It doesn’t change anything at all. He didn’t lose the game, we were not good enough, but in these moments you need just an OK ref. That would have been enough.”
His words on the game, “First and foremost, we didn’t deserve to win tonight, to be honest. We didn’t play good enough for that. That’s my first concern. Especially in the first half, we didn’t play good enough football.”
“We conceded the first goal, then served the second goal on a plate. But that was not the real problem of the game. We did better in the second half, played better football, tried to create against a really passionate and deep-defending Real Madrid side, with the counter-attacking threat they have.”
“We scored a goal, which is obviously the positive of the night. Did we deserve more than the 3-1? I’m not sure to be honest.”
