‘Liverpool underestimated us’ - Red Star defender takes pop at Jurgen Klopp’s side

The Reds fell to a 2-0 defeat in Serbia after a fine first half double from forward Milan Pavkov

Red Star Belgrade defender Milos Degenek believes Liverpool were guilty of underestimating his side in their shock 2-0 defeat to the Serbian champions on Tuesday night.

The Reds went into the game having beaten Red Star 4-0 at Anfield a fortnight ago and knew that another victory would see them take charge of Group C.

But a first-half double from forward Milan Pavkov was enough to see off Jurgen Klopp’s side on the night, with Liverpool’s chances of qualifying for the knockout stages now in doubt.
