The Senegal international, who is currently serving a three-game suspension in the league, provide the assist for Philippe Coutinho's goal in the 1-1 draw. However, he was taken off by Klopp in the 70th minute.
"Sadio Mané has spent too long without a game so he needs to adapt to such intensity," Klopp said.
"That's why we had to replace him."
