JURGEN KLOPP blasted a journalist’s “dumb question” before storming out of an interview following Liverpool’s FA Cup exit to Manchester United.
The Reds boss was left seething after Amad Diallo’s 121st minute strike ended his hopes of a Quadruple in his final season at Anfield.
Liverpool had been 3-2 up with just eight minutes of extra time to go before Marcus Rashford levelled things up for United.
Diallo then hit the Merseysiders on the counter at the bitter end.
And United have been rewarded for their smash-and-grab with a semi-final tie against Championship side Coventry next month.
Klopp was clearly far from pleased at the final whistle as he gave his post-match interview.

But he was left fuming following a question from a Scandinavian reporter in the tunnel.
The journalist lit the fuse by asking: “Normally, intensity is the name of your game, so how come it became so difficult in extra time?”
This line of questioning enraged Klopp, who exploded: “A bit of a dumb question, I have to say, because you see us that often.
“If you never saw us, you could ask, ‘How can they have more resources?’ We played so many games recently.

“I don’t know exactly how many games United played. I’m really disappointed about that question, but you obviously thought it was good.”
The reporter was not put off though, and continued: “So, too many games?”
But for Klopp, it was the final straw.
He yelped: “Oh come on. You are obviously not in great shape and I have no nerves for you.”
Amazingly, Klopp then walked out of the interview, leaving the reporter looking stunned.
Fans reacted online, with one saying: “Perfectly reasonable questions.”
Another declared: “Great reporting this.”
One added: “Sensational viewing.”
