Jurgen Klopp has come under fire from Barcelona legend Hristo Stoichkov for his scathing comments on the Club World Cup format. The former Liverpool boss questioned the demands of the revamped tournament, but the 1994 Ballon d'Or winner wasn’t having it, suggesting that Klopp’s comments stemmed from RB Salzburg’s early exit and mocking his new Red Bull affiliation.
Red Bull Salzburg brutally mocked Cristiano Ronaldo after going down to Real Madrid in the Club World Cup by posting a video of from his Juventus days on social media. The forward was given the marching orders during a Champions League group stage encounter against Valencia in 2018 after he fouled defender Jeison Murillo. The Portuguese was furious and frustrated with the decision as he kept insisting his innocence.
