Jurgen Klopp snaps at Man City question after Liverpool win - 'I'm not interested'

Jurgen Klopp snapped back after being asked about title rivals Manchester City following Liverpool 's hard-fought win against Newcastle.

The Reds beat the Magpies 1-0 at St James' Park to move top of the Premier League table, as Naby Keita scored a delightful goal in the 20th minute which made the all-important difference. Later on Saturday, in the evening kick-off, City travel to Leeds, who have promised put up a fight and do Liverpool a favour.

Klopp, however, says that he is not interested in how Pep Guardiola 's side get on in Yorkshire, instead focusing next Tuesday's Champions League semi-final opponents, Villarreal, who they lead 2-0 on aggressive after a commanding win on Wednesday. Asked by BT Sport if the spotlight was now on City, the Reds boss replied: "No, to Villarreal. They are 2-1 down, playing at the moment [versus Alaves ]. That's what I'm interested in. I haven't thought a second until now about City, but immediately about Villarreal."
