Jurgen Klopp accuses referee Felix Brych of making 'personal' decisions against Sadio Mane in Liverpool's 3-1 Champions League defeat by Real Madrid - after apparent foul on forward was ignored just 20 seconds before Marco Asensio's goal

Jurgen Klopp has slammed the referee for his officiating during Liverpool's wretched defeat at Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The Reds have it all to do to keep their European dreams alive after falling to a 3-1 loss in the Spanish capital following a brace from Vinicius Junior and a goal from Marco Asensio.

And following the final whistle, a furious Klopp accused referee Felix Brych of 'personal decisions' against his forward Sadio Mane.

Mane was hauled down by Lucas Vazquez moments before Real Madrid's second of the night

Klopp was particularly frustrated after Mane appeared to be hauled down near Madrid's penalty area by Lucas Vazquez, who was last man, only for the referee to wave play on.
