Jurgen Klopp WALKS OUT on TV interview, fuming at being treated 'like an idiot' by 'not a nice person' Spanish journalist in a spat over Diego Simeone's handshake snub in Liverpool's 3-2 win at Atletico Madrid

A furious Jurgen Klopp walked out of his post-match interview after the Liverpool boss claimed he was being treated 'like an idiot' by a 'not nice' Spanish journalist, who accused him of being 'very angry' about Diego Simeone refusing to shake his hand on Tuesday.

Simeone snubbed Klopp's offer of a handshake at the full-time whistle by running straight down the tunnel after seeing his Atletico Madrid side fall to a 3-2 defeat in a dramatic Champions League contest.

Klopp did not seem impressed, holding out his hand and then giving a sarcastic thumbs-up when Simeone ran down the tunnel before shaking the hands of the Argentine's players and backroom staff.
