Klopp praises Union Saint Gilloise after Liverpool beaten in Belgium: ‘Strong side’

Klopp’s team was the youngest in their history by some considerable margin to play a European game with an average age of just 21.9 years and six players aged 20.

Their inexperience was punished by the Belgian league leaders, who Klopp praised post-match.

“They are well set up, top of the table, they played a strong side,” the Liverpool boss said.
