Jurgen Klopp takes stand against Super League in scathing pre-match interview

Klopp, Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has addressed the media for the first time since the club announced its role in the proposed breakaway European Super League.

Speaking in a pre-match interview with Sky Sports, the Reds boss stood against the decision, saying competitions like it are created purely to generate revenue.

My opinion didn’t change [since 2019]. We got some information, not a lot, and it’s a tough one. People are not happy with that, I can understand that,” Klopp said, as quoted by David Lynch.

I have no issues with the Champions League. I like the fact West Ham may play Champions League next year. I like that they have that chance.”

Take a look at the video below for the boss’ full quote, via Football Daily – including the line about money.

We at Empire of the Kop can only echo what the Liverpool boss has said – the actions of the club do not align with the civic beliefs of the wider fan-base and are self-serving.

What makes football so appealing is that anyone can reach the very top of the game, but this new ‘Super League’ proposes a level occupied by the mega-rich that will be unattainable to the majority.
