Jurgen Klopp Receives Touchline Ban
Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, will not be on the sidelines for the game against Aston Villa on Saturday.
After Liverpool’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham at Anfield on April 30, Klopp spoke to the media about official Paul Tierney and expressed his frustrations about something that has landed him in trouble.
As part of his punishment, Klopp has been handed a £75,000 fine, and he will also have a one-game touchline suspension against Villa.
Liverpool have been in hot form recently, and they are currently in the quest for a top four finish. His touchline miss will be a huge blow against Unai Emery’s side.
Speaking after the 4-3 win over Spurs, Klopp said,
“We have our history with (Paul) Tierney; I really don’t know what this man has against us; he has said there are no problems, but that cannot be true.”
“How he looks at me, I don’t understand it. But again? He was reffing against Tottenham [in 2021], where Harry Kane should have gotten a red card. And I love this player, this crazy player, and I don’t want him to get a red card, but he should.” He said.
