Jurgen Klopp accused Atletico Madrid players of attempting to get Sadio Mane sent off during their first-leg match in the Champions League round of 16.

"I was afraid that his opponent would go down if Sadio only took a deep breath. After 30 minutes, three Atletico players were on the ground, not even injured," said Klopp.

Atleti players suggested that Klopp should be more "gracious" in defeat.

ESPN sources were also told that Diego Simeone's mood has been transformed by Atleti's 1-0 win over Liverpool.
