Man City consider Klopp's comments on two sides' financial states as 'xenophobic' - believe it caused tensions at Anfield

The Times

 1-0 win over Man City to be ‘borderline xenophobic’.

The comments in question is how the German manager compared the two clubs' financial disparities and insisted that the Reds can never spend like City.

City are irked how Klopp indicated that ‘there are only three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially’, which was a dig at them.

They believe it whipped up the tensions at Anfield on Sunday before a game that already has a history of drama.

It’s clear that Klopp’s comments before the game clearly struck a nerve of the City officials and made them desperate for a win.

So when they didn’t get it on Sunday, it resulted in

how could Klopp possibly be xenophobic. That means that you are scared of foreigners. He is German!!!

that is one of the most ridiculous, nonsensical asinine things I have ever read, they are sore losers and have sunk to a new low on their excuses for not beating us,

the arsenal game we got robbed of a clear penalty and lost too a soft one given...and a lot of bias decisions against us and for arsenal.....thia game the ref  did everything he could .....he even gave their goal when he was right there when Fabino was tackled..var saved us and then salah scored a goal that he could nothing about

Neville Adam YNWA

Absolute tripe, obviously the ref was  on their side. gave us 3 yellow cards but didn't give them when they continously fouled us and rugby tackled Mo and didn't give them yellow cards like our little fouls which got us 3 yellows. We lost to arsenal because we were cheated by the ref.

Speedy Red

This. You can’t kick a goalies arms when he has the fucking ball in his hands. Immediate card and possible send off with direct red. And in Hallands case he should’ve been sent off. Could’ve broken Allison’s arms, especially the left

Where do these fucking imbeciles come from, but I digress, all they want to talk about is what comes out of Klopps mouth, which is truth

that's pathetic the goal was disallowed because Fabinio was FOULED and ALISON too end off.
