Klopp Ostensibly Slams Barca Fans Who Fumed at Messi After Defeat

Barcelona fans will now be watching Liverpool face Tottenham Hotspur at Madrid in June 1 after their team was shamefully eliminated from the competition on Tuesday by Liverpool.

The fans were furious after the defeat owing to the fact that Barca had a 3-0 advantage over Liverpool and were the favorites to proceed to the finals.

But Liverpool managed to overturn the defeat and humiliated the Blaugrana with a 4-0 defeat at Anfield.

Barca fans were justified to be furious since that was a repeat of what Roma did to Barcelona last season when they overturned a 4-1 defeat at Nou Camp to a 3-0 victory in Italy, winning with the away goal.

However, they turned their fury to Lionel Messi, the club’s captain, claiming that the players can’t be repeating the same mistakes every season.

But some football football pundits and former players have come to Messi’s defense, claiming that Messi was not to blame for all the woes.

And the latest to break silence on the quarrel between Messi and Barca fans was Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who slammed the fans for putting all blames on Messi.

Klopp said, “People blame Messi for defeat. He is not to blame. It makes me angry to see comments against him. Messi is & will always be the best player in the world.”

This is the second Champions League final in a row without Messi featuring.
