This followed the Reds' 3-2 victory over Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium in 2021, when Simeone openly expressed his aversion to full-time handshakes.

The Atletico manager's choice was criticized by Klopp, though he defended himself at the time: "I've already explained myself after the first match.

I don't like the handshake greetings after the match as they are the emotions of two different sides in different emotional minds.

"So I don't like that greeting after the match.

I know in the UK it is a custom and all about chivalry, but I don't share it and I don't like the falseness.

I don't know Klopp as a person, but he is a great coach and has been great everywhere he has been.

"I don't give an opinion on other teams, we are coaches and we all have to respect that."

Simeone was furious at full-time as Liverpool came away with a 3-2 win in 2021.

My reaction was unjustifiable, but do you know what it's like to be insulted for 90 minutes, to turn around after the opponent scores and still be insulted?
