​Liverpool boss Klopp frustrated by Atletico tactics: We played football, they didn\'t

Published on: 02 August 2017

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has blasted Atletico Madrid for their defensive tactics in the Audi Cup final.

The La Liga side won the match 5-4 on penalties after the game ended 1-1 in normal time.

"Atletico wanted to win the cup," said the German.

"We did also, but we also wanted to play football, Atletico only wanted to win the cup.

"You could not have a more difficult job against a team like Atletico. They get results and results and results. It was offence against defence. It doesn't make life easy.

"We weren't concentrating for the goal. Second half we did better. We played more football. We deserved the equaliser. One lost challenge on a header shouldn't mean you go behind.

"It was a completely different job to do from the Bayern game. Atletico left the game to us and said 'come on'."
