Klopp attends arbitration as Liverpool boss prepares for "good final"

Jurgen Klopp admitted that Liverpool "looked like butchers" in his defeat in the Champions League against PSG.

The goals of Juan Bernat and Neymar in the first half allowed PSG to impose 2-1 at Parc Des Princes. James Milner shot a point back from the penalty spot on the halftime shotbut it was not enough.

Liverpool must defeat Napoli more than one goal on the last day to qualify for the knockout stage – though, because of the goal difference, a 1-0 win would also make the case, which would make his equal records.

Klopp said BT Sport: "The beginning was as expected, it was very wild and intense and they took all the risks. They scored twice by winning the second ball. We still had to stay in the game, but as soon as we had some control, you saw that the match was not decided. We tried everything but we did not have enough chances. We had two or three promising situations but with one or two decisions they would have been.

"When a match starts like this, it's hard to take insurance, so that's never been our game. Another small hurdle we had to overcome was the 500,000 disturbances in the second half and the referee still thinks he's done everything right. We are one of the most fair teams in England, but tonight we looked like butchers. We have to take the result, but it's still a bit nil and we now have to use Anfield once again. "

Klopp then criticized some of the refereeing decisions during an intense physical match.

"I saw the penalty kick, he was inside the box but he did not even make a mistake. Then I saw the fault of Marco Verratti and wow. We were not really good, but it was a close match in a very important competition. We had five or six yellow cards, which is crazy.

"It's our job to take it, but I'm still a little emotional about it. We will come back and prepare the derby. Then on December 11, we have a real final at Anfield. "

The German was not impressed by the complicated permutations of the last group match against Napoli.

"Well, we'll score a goal, then the final whistle will come and we can go home."
