Klopp slams PSG for making Reds look like ‘butchers’

-

when you look at the yellow cards we had.

“It was clever of PSG, especially of Neymar.

“A lot of the others went down, like there was really something serious.

“And obviously we were not that calm anymore. It makes you aggressive, and negative aggression doesn’t help in football.”

Klopp said that he did not want to be seen as a “bad loser” who complained about decisions, such as Marco Verratti not being sent off for a bad first-half foul on Joe Gomez.

“It was for sure not the same colour as those 500 other yellow cards,” he said.

But after saying at first he did not want to see his complaints quoted in newspapers, he then spelled out what he wanted to see happen instead.”

“There are a lot of things you could do,” he added.

“You can give yellow cards for anything. If you act like you die and the next moment you get up again, you can give a yellow card, for not sportsmanl­ike behaviour. You can do that.

“It’s acting, all the time. It’s not football anymore.”
