Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spoken publicly for the first time since news broke that 12 of Europe’s biggest clubs are planning to form a new ‘Super League’.
The German tactician previously addressed Super League rumours in 2019 when he condemned the idea.
Speaking ahead of his team’s Premier League clash against Leeds United on Monday night, Klopp has remained adamant his feelings have not changed.

Klopp also went on to speak about his feelings towards the amount of money within the game of football:
🗣 “If you tell the clubs it’s about money, what do you think UEFA is about? FIFA wants a club world cup, that’s about money.”
