Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti shared a touchline chat in which they concurred upon the use of VAR as the two managers agreed that “this is not football!”
The conversation came at the end of the Champions League meeting in Madrid as Real Madrid won the second leg of their Round of 16 tie against Liverpool 1-0, to advance through to the last eight of the competition with a convincing 6-2 aggregate victory.
In truth, the match was effectively over as a contest following the dramatic first leg at Anfield. Despite Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah giving Klopp’s side a dramatic two-goal lead, doubles from Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema, alongside an Eder Militao header – saw a stunning away victory.
