Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has mocked Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp after the German claimed that the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie was not held at a \u2018proper stadium\u2019.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid sent Liverpool out of the Champions League with a goalless draw at Anfield after the Spanish giants had secured a 3-1 win in the first leg in Spain.<\/p>\n

The first leg was played at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium, which is part of Real Madrid\u2019s training complex in Valdebebas, as the Santiago Bernabeu is undergoing major renovation works during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

And after Liverpool\u2019s 3-1 loss in Madrid, Klopp aimed a dig at the LaLiga club\u2019s decision to host the tie at the 6,000-seater stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt must be a really tricky task for Real Madrid at Anfield,\u201d Klopp said after Liverpool\u2019s defeat in the first leg in Madrid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was strange tonight because it was really difficult with the stadium [at Madrid\u2019s training ground] but Anfield is at least a proper stadium and it will be good for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in an interview with Spanish radio show El Larguero on Wednesday evening, Perez hit back at Klopp\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why he doesn\u2019t like it,\u2019 said Madrid\u2019s president.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, Valdebebas and Kiev is the same\u2026 3-1. It\u2019s the same pitch,\u201d he said, referring to Real Madrid\u2019s win over Liverpool in the Champions League final in Kiev in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
