Jurgen Klopp reacts to critical Mohamed Salah tweet

independent.co.uk:

Jurgen Klopp has shrugged off Mohamed Salah’s tweet that there was “no excuse” for Liverpool’s failure to qualify for the Champions League as a “completely normal” reaction to their disappointment.After six successive top-four finishes, which led to three Champions League finals and victory in the competition in 2019, Liverpool were condemned to fifth place this season when Manchester United beat Chelsea on Thursday.And then Salah tweeted: “I’m totally devastated.

There’s absolutely no excuse for this. We had everything we needed to make it to next year’s Champions League and we failed.

We are Liverpool and qualifying to the competition is the bare minimum.”But Klopp insisted it was just a spur-of-the-moment reaction and said his top scorer is fine now.He said: “It is completely normal.

In the world of social media so many bad things happen constantly and I don’t think that was one of them. It was just a normal description of his situation, of his feeling, and in that moment directly after the game he’s right.
