Jurgen Klopp was left stunned by a journalist's line of questioning regarding Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr and firmly stressed there is no excuse for the abhorrent racist abuse the forward has been receiving.
The Brazilian has been the target for sickening abuse in Spain of late. Atletico Madrid fans were filmed singing a disgusting racist chant about the Real Madrid forward, 22, ahead of September's derby.
Then, in January, an effigy of Vinicius was hung from a bridge in the Spanish capital ahead of another game between the two clubs. Both Real and Atletico have condemned the sickening abuse.
