Jurgen Klopp has given details of his talk with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, following criticism of the Champions League final ticket policy.
“I still think that’s one of the most ridiculous ideas in the world of football.
“I said as well in this conversation, the reason why I’m not in such a good mood when I speak about UEFA and stuff like this is because of the Nations League,” Klopp continued.
“I would prefer UEFA to take more money from the Champions League final and kick out the Nations League again.
“What is it, 93 percent of the money goes to the clubs and UEFA only gets a few euros?
!”
Following that, Klopp received a text message from Ceferin, who explained that 93.5 percent of the Champions League final revenue goes to the two clubs, and that the sponsors who finance the showpiece clash are obliged a certain number of tickets.
With Liverpool and Real Madrid fans given an allocation of just 19,618 tickets each for a 75,000-seater Stade de France, Klopp was among those to criticise the situation.
