Klopp and Simeone: a clash of different styles in the Champions League
Atlético de Madrid and Jürgen Klopp faced each other in the Champions League in 2020, with Simeone’s team coming out on top. Klopp, then manager of Liverpool, praised Atlético as a ‘machine’ before the game, but after the elimination, criticized the team’s style of play.
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season and now works as an advisor to Red Bull, which has generated criticism in his country. The clash between Klopp and Simeone has become a rivalry between teams, coaches, and styles of play.
