'It's a joke!' - Liverpool boss Klopp slams Champions League reform plans amid player burn-out fears

The Reds boss is angry that managers and players were not consulted by UEFA, which plans to expand Europe's top club competitions from 2024

Jurgen Klopp says it is “great’ that the controversial breakaway European Super League collapsed this week – but has hit out at the planned revamp of the existing Champions League competition.

The Liverpool boss, speaking at a press conference ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Newcastle this weekend, spoke at length about his concerns over the proposed 36-team Champions League tournament, which was ratified by UEFA this week and will come into effect from 2024.
