Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier has branded Jurgen Klopp’s past criticism of Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone as ‘unfair’.
The Liverpool boss delivered an honest verdict on the style of play deployed by the reigning La Liga champions after being knocked out of the Champions League by them in March 2020.
Beaten 3-2 on the night in the last-16 second-leg tie, the Reds were sent packing from Europe as Simeone’s Atletico side soaked up the pressure before scoring three times in extra-time.
