• Goalscorer Mané started on bench with Atlético game in mind
Jürgen Klopp says he feels for Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City players after Liverpool’s closest rivals were handed a two-year ban from the Champions League. The Reds manager was speaking from a place of comfort after his side pulled 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to a 1-0 victory at Norwich thanks to a goal from substitute Sadio Mané.
Uefa’s decision to ban City from European competition for contravening financial fair play and misleading European football’s governing body sent shockwaves across football on Friday. But while Klopp insisted he was not across the details of events off the field he showed solidarity with his fierce competitor on it.
