The disallowed extra-time header left the German camp fuming and prompted strong criticism from pundits. Speaking during his television analysis on Magenta TVKlopp used the contentious decision to shine a light on the perceived lenient officiating often enjoyed by his former Premier League rivals.
Klopp stated: “If the goal is illegal, then Arsenal won’t be English champions. They’ve scored 60 percent of their goals that way. We win the game when the ball goes in. So, of course, this is brutal. There are worse things than defeats in sports. But there was only one goal, one dream, and that has been shattered. It was dramatic. There are 500,000 ways to win a football match. You just have to find one.”
