This Thursday, Liverpool lost 3-2 on their visit to Toulouse and missed the chance to qualify for the round of 16 of the Europa League, the second competition in the Old World. The French exploded with joy and celebrated as if it were a final as they came second and were poised to be the other team to advance to the round. They stayed celebrating for a long time and the one who got upset was the coach of the English team, Jürgen Klopp, because of the commotion that reached the press conference. The German strategist was annoying in the room to respond to the media's request. While the Gauls did not stop shouting, the German's angry face said it all. He asked for a moment before responding and fired: “And who had the idea of holding the press conference here? That would be a really interesting question. Wow!” A journalist wanted to ask him and Klopp's face was eloquent, a fact that caused him to not finish asking the question.

The coach's gestures showed that it was impossible to speak amidst the shouting of the local fans. After this match, Toulouse was second with seven points, two behind the leader Liverpool, with two dates to finish the first round. In this match, Toulouse took the lead in the 35th minute after an error in the start of Konstantinos Tsimikas, who lost the ball to Aron Donnum, who faced and crossed the goal to put the French team ahead. In addition, the local team widened the difference. At 57 minutes Luis Díaz was pressured by two rivals and the ball was recovered by the Toulouse players. The cross came from the right and Thijs Dallinga widened the gap. 2-0. However, in the 73rd minute Liverpool scored with a goal against Cristian Cásseres, who wanted to clear, but the ball hit him on the shoulder and he ended up beating his own fence.

The red team was in the game and was excited about being able to achieve equality. That hope was short-lived as two minutes later Toulouse attacked again and Frank Magri surprised at the far post to capture a low cross. The 3-1 score for the French team was a stab for Liverpool, who achieved another discount in the 89th minute through Diogo Jota.

Klopp's anger with his players

In the seventh additional minute Jarell Quansah scored for Liverpool, but the goal was ruled out due to a handball by Alexis Mac Allister. If Klopp was angry with UEFA, he was also angry with his players and these were Tsimikas and Wataru Endo whom he replaced at half-time due to their poor level during the first half.
