Jurgen Klopp has snapped at a Spanish reporter asking if he would give Luka Modric a new deal, as the frustrated German insisted it’s ‘not one of my problems’.
Defending champions Los Blancos rallied to win 5-2 on Tuesday to take a commanding lead into the second leg of the round-of-16 matchup.
Despite chaotic defending that allowed Liverpool to race into a 2-0 lead, Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema scored two goals each to stun the hosts.
Klopp’s frustrations boiled over in his post-match press conference when the Reds manager, 55, was asked about Real Madrid players.
‘Oh god,’ Klopp replied after being asked whether or not he’d give the Croatian central midfielder, 37, a new deal.

‘You obviously are not too much interested in my problems, so this is not one of my problems.’
He continued: ‘Yeah, fantastic player and I’m pretty sure Carlo [Ancelotti] and Real Madrid will do the right thing for the right player.’
‘Please ask me more questions about Real Madrid players,’ Klopp quipped before he was asked any further questions.
Klopp also gave a blunt reply when asked if Vinicius is now one of the best attackers in the world.
The 22-year-old became the youngest player to score two goals against Liverpool at Anfield in one of Europe’s leading competitions since Johan Cruyff for Ajax in 1966 when the Dutch great was 19.
The Brazil international is establishing himself as Madrid’s star player and, in the face of a typically daunting Anfield atmosphere, he rose to the occasion.
‘Vinicius right now in my opinion is the most decisive player in world football, the man who can make the biggest difference, and if he can keep this consistency let’s hope he can continue in this vein,’ Madrid coach Ancelotti said.
