Jurgen Klopp Gives New & Improved Excuse for Losing the Champions League Final Against Real Madrid

Jurgen Klopp has given a new reason as to why Liverpool failed to overcome Real Madrid in the Champions League final earlier this year.

The Reds, whose run to the tournament's closer was quite remarkable, fell short at the final hurdle, losing 3-1 to Los Blancos in Kiev.

Of course, the loss of their most potent attacker Mohamed Salah didn't help, with the Egyptian star getting forced off after injuring his shoulder courtesy of a hefty challenge from Sergio Ramos. The Spaniard last night responded publicly to Klopp's recent public criticism of his actions in the game, after the coach had called him "ruthless" for his tackle on Salah.
