Liverpool assistant speaks out
Jurgen Klopp’s assistant Krawietz spoke out on the incident. He claimed that the referees were celebrating in the other room while the Liverpool squad were crying and losing their minds.
“In Kiev, the dressing room was like a sick bay, Imagine that you get in there and one guy has already been to the hospital and is now back, in pain and crying. And then you hear your opponents celebrating.
And in the dressing room next door, the referees are celebrating as well. I don’t know why, but they were singing and partying, with a case of beer. For us, it was awful. Finding the right reaction is tough. But that’s all part of it. You have to show strength and greatness in defeat. And the right reaction. Yes, they really hurt us, but they haven’t knocked us out. We’re down, but it’s not over.”
Liverpool have the opportunity to get their revenge as they face Real Madrid again in the Champions League final.
