Jurgen Klopp has grabbed headlines for his actions during his post-match interview following Liverpool’s heartbreaking loss against arch-rivals Manchester United.
Liverpool’s hopes of securing a quadruple were shattered in a thrilling FA Cup encounter, where Manchester United staged two remarkable comebacks to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
Klopp, who is set to depart Liverpool at the end of the season, was visibly frustrated by the outcome, particularly when questioned about his team’s intensity during extra time.
During an interview with V Sport after the game, Klopp was asked about the intensity of his team’s performance, to which he responded sharply, labeling the question as “dumb.”
He further explained that their recent busy schedule of matches, compared to Manchester United’s, was a factor in their performance.
Klopp’s abrupt exit from the interview left the interviewer, presenter, and pundits visibly stunned.
Klopp’s reaction has sparked criticism on social media for its peculiar nature, as football supporters have questioned his response to the interviewer’s inquiry.
