Jurgen Klopp Reacts To Liverpool's UEFA Champions League Exit, Calls Mohamed Salah Out?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reacted to his side crashing out of the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid.

The Reds were dumped out of Europe by Zinedine Zidane's Los Blancos following a 3-1 aggregate loss, with the Premier League side unable to turn things around at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Liverpool, however, did have a few good chances to do just that in the second leg of their quarter-final, sentiments echoed by Klopp, who appeared to call out Salah in particular for his missed opportunities. 

"We didn't lose the game tonight, we lost it in Madrid, that is clear. The level of performance today was good enough and had we gone 1-0 up, it would have been a different game," he said, according to the Liverpool Echo.

"It was uncomfortable for Madrid, we were good, we were aggressive, we played some really good stuff, had massive chances in the beginning of the game.

"If we take one of them, it opens up. They had already struggles, it would have increased that. But if and when isn't interesting because we didn't score and then, with the experience of Real Madrid, they slowed it down.

"We've had ridiculous games here where we should have won, not tonight, but in the Premier League, where we just didn't finish.

"Many times, Mo Salah would finish this type of thing. We had so many situations and we could have created more because the football we played was better."

Real will now face Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea in the semi-finals of the competition, while Manchester City will face Paris Saint-Germain in the other match.
