Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp took a cruel but jovial swipe at Joel Matip's second touch during a Sky Sports promotional video filmed before his ACL injury.

The 32-year-old centre back has been a cornerstone of success for the Reds since joining in 2016, but an ACL injury picked up earlier this month means he will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

And despite impressing his Liverpool manager with his first touch, Klopp was quick to take a shot at Matip's follow-up.

The pair were taking part in a Sky Sports YouTube video to try and identify a professional footballer from a group of five, using a series of drills to try and eliminate the fakers.
