'I said it was not a good idea' - Klopp takes aim at Champions League & Nations League schedule clash

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has bemoaned the scheduling of the UEFA Nations League Finals so soon after the Champions League final, citing the risk to players.

The Reds clash with Tottenham in Madrid on June 1 and many of the two teams' players will be in action when England play Netherlands five days later in a Guimaraes semi-final.

Klopp believes players are at risk from the constant action and has accused UEFA of "interesting planning" with its placement of a tournament he has previously criticised.
