Rio Ferdinand has hit back at Jurgen Klopp following the Liverpool manager's light-hearted dig at Gary Neville and his brother, Phil
The match against USG was memorable for various reasons, though, with Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister coming face-to-face with his brother, Kevin.
Like many others, Klopp was excited by the meeting between the two siblings. Speaking in his post-match press conference,
Klopp said:
“It’s the first time that two brothers played against each other in world football or whatever it felt like, it’s a really nice story.”
He was, of course, overlooking the fact that the Neville brothers played against one another after Phil Neville left Manchester United to join Everton. Once this was pointed out to Klopp, the Liverpool manager quipped:
Klopp “Well nobody was interested in that obviously. Sorry, that was a penalty I had to take that!”
Quoting a post of Klopp's cheeky comments, Ferdinand said: "Only 14 Premier League titles between the Neville households," complete with the eyes emoji and a laughing face.
