Klopp explains angry reaction to Kovac at full-time of Liverpool - Bayern stalemate

Jurgen Klopp has explained his angry reaction to Niko Kovac at the end of Liverpool's 0-0 draw with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The Reds boss was visibly angered when he spoke to his Bayern counterpart after the final whistle of the goalless first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Klopp shouted and gestured after shaking hands with Kovac, who pulled the German's arm to remonstrate with him on the touchline before the Liverpool coach went on the field to speak to his players.
