Klopp's first reaction after Liverpool's painful loss to Real Madrid

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp went to congratulate Real Madrid duo Toni Kroos and Idir Militao, after losing his heavy team to the Royal Club on Tuesday, 1-3 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the "Alfredo Di Stefano" stadium.

The Spanish newspaper "Marca" published a picture of Klopp congratulating the Real Madrid duo, Kroos and Militao, in the presence of his Egyptian player, Mohamed Salah, in the first angry reaction of the German coach after the painful defeat.

Real Madrid will visit Liverpool next Wednesday at Anfield to play the second leg.

Klopp was not satisfied with the performance of his team and said in a press conference after the match: "One of the rare times that the team appears in this way in the first game ... the team has to wake up from what happened and focus on the upcoming dates, whether the return match or the English Premier League matches."

He added: If you want to qualify for the semi-finals, you must gain the right to do so, we did not do that tonight, especially in the first half .. The only good thing that I can say besides the goal is that the match is only the first part of the confrontation, we did not play good football. Enough to cause problems for Real Madrid. ”

 He continued:“ We made things very easy for them, these mistakes happen, we did not deserve more than that, but that goal in the second half was good, it gave us a lifeline. ”
