After the match, a Spanish journalist wanted to know if Klopp was angry about Simeone’s disrespect. “But I wasn’t angry at all,” said the German. “I’m not an idiot, you shouldn’t create stories. I wanted to shake hands, he didn’t. I’m emotional, he’s emotional. And you’re not a pretty person because you want to brew a story around this. You say I was angry. Well, now I’m mad because you’re asking me this question.”
