'I'll go to my grave not understanding why I got all the blame' - Villarreal's Moreno opens up on acrimonious Liverpool exit

The defender felt he was unfairly criticised after the Reds' Europa League final defeat to Sevilla in 2016, which ultimately led to his departure

Villarreal defender Alberto Moreno has opened up on his acrimonious Liverpool exit, admitting "I'll go to my grave not understanding" the criticism he received at Anfield.

Moreno moved to Liverpool from Sevilla in 2014, and went on to appear in 141 games across all competitions for the club, recording three goals and 11 assists.

The 28-year-old initially enjoyed a prominent role in Jurgen Klopp's set-up following his appointment as head coach, but fell down the pecking order after the Reds' 3-1 defeat to his former club in the 2016 Europa League final.
