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

Jurgen Klopp stormed out of his post-match interview with a Spanish journalist after slamming them as 'not a nice person' when they claimed he was 'very angry' about Diego Simeone refusing to shake his hand after his Liverpool side beat Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Simeone snubbed Klopp's offer of a handshake at the full-time whistle by running straight down the tunnel after seeing his team 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.
