Jurgen Klopp’s ‘psychotic smile’ has apparently left fans in splits as Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of old foes Real Madrid. Liverpool arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu knowing they had to overcome a 5-2 first-leg deficit. However, it was Carlo Ancelotti’s team that broke the deadlock in the 78th minute, thanks to reigning Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema’s strike.

As the game entered injury time, Kostas Tsimikas was blocking a shot inside the penalty area when the ball deflected off his thigh and struck his arm. A VAR review was conducted, and the absurd amount of time required to reach a decision left Jurgen Klopp smiling on the sidelines, though most likely not with pleasure.

Fans terrified to watch Jurgen Klopp smile as Liverpool’s season fell apart

Liverpool’s Champions League exit follows their 1-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League over the weekend, which dealt a huge blow to their top-four hopes. The Champions League was their only remaining hope of ending a dismantling season with a trophy, but that too was killed by the defending champions who knocked Liverpool out of the round of 16 on  an aggregate score of 6-2.

Jurgen Klopp’s team has now gone from being two games away from an unprecedented quadruple last season to having no chance of winning a trophy this season. While the Champions League was the club’s last realistic chance at silverware, but the best they can hope for this season is now a spot in the top four. However, it was the smile on Jurgen Klopp’s face which has apparently angered the Reds’ fanbase, as they flocked to social media to express their thoughts on the German’s ‘creepy’ smile.

Here are some of the best reactions:
