UCL fallout:Liverpool boss apologises face-to-face to interpreter

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has apologised for blowing up at his translator for their pre-match Champions League media conference on Monday.

Klopp blasted the interpreter after taking exception to how his fellow German speaker translated Jordan Henderson’s answer.

But, following the hard-fought 2-0 win over RB Salzburg on Tuesday which secured their spot in the last-16, the Reds chief was quick to say sorry for his “stupid” outburst”.

“Before we start I’d like to apologise for yesterday,” the Reds boss said post-match.

“I know that it was unfair and even more so as it happened in public.

“It was completely stupid. I didn’t like the way my answer was translated, but the way I addressed it was stupid.

“I should have done better and I’m sorry.”
