Liverpool boss Klopp insists no Berizzo row after visiting locker room

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists there was no problem with the Sevilla coaching staff at the end of tonight's 2-2 draw.

Klopp was involved in a heated discussion with the Spanish club's backroom staff at the end of the 2-2 draw at Anfield, with manager Eduardo Berizzo already sent to the stands for throwing the ball away.

The Argentine was dismissed in the second half for throwing the ball away as Liverpool tried to take a quick throw – though he offered his own bizarre explanation for his behaviour post-match.

Joe Gomez was also sent off in a feisty affair as the Reds began their Champions League campaign with a point.

"They invited me (into the dressing room)," Klopp said. “100% no problem."

“The manager of Sevilla asked me to come into the dressing room, he wanted to explain the situation around his red card, whatever.

"We had a completely normal talk afterwards, everything's fine, there was not a bit (of trouble). there were a lot of smiles, maybe there was not not a smile on my face but not because of the things we spoke about, only because of the result."
