Jurgen Klopp after losing to Atletico Madrid says;
“I don’t understand why Atletico play this type of football with the quality they have. They could play proper football. World-class players standing in two blocks of four. They didn’t even have counter-attacks. But we have to accept that we lost the game, conceeding 3 goals at extra time is really crazy.”
