- Klopp ridiculed American's suggestion
WHAT HAPPENED? After Liverpool's Champions League win on Tuesday, Klopp was asked about the Chelsea owner's idea to create an All-Star fixture between northern and southern English football clubs, which he shot down.
WHAT THEY SAID: "He hasn't waited long! Oh great, maybe he can find a date for it. It's completely different in America. Does he want to bring the Harlem Globetrotters as well?"
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Boehly proposed the concept while suggesting that the Premier League should "take a lesson" from American sports, with the idea being to generate more money for the rest of the pyramid.
