Jurgen Klopp has reflected on Liverpool’s depressing loss to Atletico Madrid in last season Champions League knockout stage reproaching himself for not adjusting to the loss after the game.

The Reds needed to defend their title and had earlier lost by a lone goal at the Wanda Metropolitano in the first leg of the competition.

The return leg was almost masked by the coronavirus yet the game was allowed to continue as Liverpool were kicked out after surrendering two-goal lead to lose by 3-2 at Anfield.

In the Reds 'The End of the Storm' video, the manager his voiced his frustration at Atletico’s style of play at Anfield after difficult preparations due to the coronavirus infection.

“I woke up Monday morning [March 9] and heard about Madrid closing schools and universities," Klopp said.

"We had an incredibly important Champions League game against Atletico. And we had five to six thousand people from Madrid coming to the game tomorrow. 

"That made absolutely no sense.

"It was very difficult that night to prepare a football game, to ask the players to do everything to win it, without knowing what will happen the day after. 

"I remember I was really angry about the way Atletico Madrid played. But five minutes later after I did all my interviews I thought: 'What an idiot are you, you worry about losing a football game but the world is in the most difficult place ever.'"
