Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has condemned the UEFA for blaming the club following an incident that transpired in the Final of 2021/2022.
The Liverpool coach was honest about his feelings insisting that it was not handled well.
It would be recalled that Liverpool were at the center of a mistreatment before the start of the 2022 UEFA final.
Fans tear gassed and throw stuff at the players. UEFA is now claiming responsibility following the result of its one year investigation on the issue.
“I think it’s super-important that, finally, it’s official, let me say it like this,” Klopp said speaking about the result that has been made public by the UEFA investigative panel.
“I’m not sure, at least in my life, there was never a case with more evidence, where I knew more about [it] when I was not directly involved, because I was on the other side of the wall in the stadium, pretty much. But families, friends, they were all there and everybody knew how our supporters behaved, but it really feels good, it feels just right that it’s now official and everybody knows it now because there were so many things said after the game, which we knew they were wrong. It was just lies. So, I’m really happy that it’s finally said officially.
“Staying calm in a situation where nobody really can stay calm, tear gas in your eyes, pressure from up front, from the side, from behind, being locked in between thousands of people and not pushing like crazy, staying calm, is a massive thing to do and an extremely difficult thing to do. And then getting out of it and getting blamed for that, it’s horrible. It’s really horrible.”
Liverpool will face Real Madrid on February 21 in a champions league clash that is expected to be exciting.
