'For me it was personal' - Klopp slams referee for Mane treatment after Liverpool lose to Real Madrid

Jurgen Klopp slammed referee Felix Brych after Liverpool's Champions League defeat to Real Madrid, suggesting the German official had "something personal" against Reds star Sadio Mane.

Klopp was livid after Brych failed to award a foul when the Senegalese forward tangled with Real defender Lucas Vazquez, shortly before the Spaniards' second goal in their 3-1 victory.

And while the Liverpool boss admitted that the officials were not the reason for his side's loss, he used his post-match press conference to reveal what he had said to the referee at the final whistle in the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium.
