Klopp walks out of interview with journalist because of ‘stupid question’ after loss to Man Utd
JURGEN KLOPP debunked a journalist’s ‘stupid question’ before storming out of an interview following Liverpool’s departure to Manchester United in the FA Cup.
The Reds boss was left seething after Amad Diallo’s 121st A minute strike ended his hopes of a Quadruple in his final season at Anfield.
Liverpool led 3-2 with just eight minutes of extra time remaining before Marcus Rashford leveled things for United.
Diallo then hit the Merseysiders on the counter in the bitter end.
And United have been rewarded for their smash-and-grab with a semi-final draw against Championship side Coventry next month.
Klopp was clearly far from satisfied at the final whistle when he gave his post-match interview.
But he was left furious after a question from a Scandinavian reporter in the tunnel.
The journalist lit the fuse by asking: “Normally intensity is the name of your game, so how come it became so difficult in extra time?”
This series of questions infuriated Klopp, who burst out: ‘A bit of a stupid question, I must say, because you see us so often.
“If you’ve never seen us, you might ask, ‘How can they have more resources?’ We’ve been playing so many games lately.

“I don’t know exactly how many games United have played. I’m very disappointed with that question, but you clearly thought it was a good question.”
However, the reporter was undeterred and continued: “So, too many games?”
But for Klopp it was the final straw.
He shouted: “Oh come on. You’re clearly not in great shape and I have no nerves for you.
Amazingly, Klopp then walked out of the interview, leaving the reporter stunned.
Fans responded online saying: “Completely reasonable questions.”
Another stated: “Great to report this.”
One added: “Sensational viewing.”
