Jurgen Klopp's Man Of The Match Comments In Post-Match Press Conference Labelled 'Salty' By Fans

 



 In his post-match press conference after Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League final, Jurgen Klopp claimed "something is going wrong for the other team" when a goalkeeper wins the Man of the Match award.

Los Blancos lifted European football's biggest prize at the Stade de France on Saturday night thanks to a 59th minute winner from Vinicius Jr, but the difference-maker at the showpiece event in Paris was goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The Belgian shot-stopper made a record-breaking nine saves to help Los Blancos win the trophy for a 14th time. This compilation proves it was one of the all-time great goalkeeping performances.

From pivotal first-half saves to deny Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, to retaining that narrow 1-0 lead with another wonderful save to stop the Egyptian forward – Courtois almost single-handedly brought the title home to Madrid.

The 30-year-old wants fans to "put respect" on his name after Saturday's Man of the Match performance.

"I saw a lot of tweets saying I would get humbled," the former Chelsea goalkeeper said in his post-match interview. "It was the other way round. "Today I needed to win a final - for my career, for all the hard work, to put respect on my name because I don’t think I have enough respect, especially England. I saw a lot of criticism that I was not good enough or whatever."
