Furious Jurgen Klopp goes viral as Liverpool press conference interrupted by celebrating Toulouse fans

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's furious reaction to the sounds of Toulouse fans celebrating during his press conference has gone viral.

Klopp has never been one to hide his anger well, or even attempt to in some cases, and his annoyance was writ large across his face as he sat down to discuss his side's 3-2 loss to Toulouse in the Europa League.

Likely already in a bad mood at his side's performance, the manager was led by UEFA officials to a tent where he would conduct his post-match media duties. Tents are famously not very soundproof and the jubilant home fans could be heard celebrating over the reporters' questions and Klopp's answers.

Klopp was able to somewhat contain his emotions for the first few minutes, straining to hear questions and giving detailed responses until the noise grew too much for him and he blurted out: "Who had the idea to have the press conference here? That would be really an interesting question."

He then added his trademark "wow" as reporters attempted to get the press conference back on track.

Liverpool remain top of Group E, sitting ahead of Toulouse by two points with two games to play.

"It was well deserved to lose because they won pretty much all the decisive challenges, battles," he told reporters.

"We have too many situations where we should have won the ball but we didn't."

Klopp was not concerned by the efforts shown by his players after a second disappointing result of the week, following Sunday's 1-1 draw at Luton.

"No, I am not concerned. In the end, we were intense - we threw everything in," he added.

"But the problem is in a football game you have to make the decisive things in the right moment to do them right. We cannot concede the goals we conceded again."
