Jurgen Klopp refused to blame the intense atmosphere in Serbia for defeat to Red Star Belgrade – insisting that his team were not affected by it.
According to LiverpoolFC.com, he said: “It was a good football atmosphere; I don’t think it would have been impossible to perform. Whatever they sang, we don’t understand. It was only loud.
“The atmosphere, singing-wise and noise-wise or whatever, was not a problem. But the atmosphere after the second goal especially, in the whole club, if you want, they could now smell it.
“At half-time, we walked a long way to the dressing room and they were all in a very positive mood.”
