Jurgen Klopp insists he was looking for his WIFE in the crowd after Liverpool’s draw with Manchester City – not celebrating sharing the spoils.
Footy fans thought the Kop chief celebrated earning a point at the Etihad following a thrilling 2-2 draw, even though it leaves Pep Guardiola’s side firmly in the title driving seat.
But the charismatic German was trying to find his wife, Ulla Sandrock, who was sitting in the away end.

He said: “I was looking for my missus, to be honest, she was in there somewhere. No, come on, it’s not about celebrating something.
It’s just about showing appreciation for something, to say thank you and go there [to the fans]. The support was again incredible.
“We could calm down the City ground slightly with the football we played in moments, but there were other moments when they were really on their toes, so I liked this game analysis-wise as well.
“So nothing has changed, really. We played 95 minutes of incredibly intense football and you are as smart as before, but that is actually pretty good news.

“If we won today, it could have been possible. But it could have been possible that we lost as well. So today, nothing really changed.
“We have to be almost perfect to beat this team in a game. And over a season as well, so yes, let’s see.
“Did I find my wife? No, but she was there, so it is all fine.”
