After attack on team bus: Guardiola criticizes security precautions - Klopp warns despite 3-0

Liverpool (SID) Coach Pep Guardiola criticized the security authorities after the attack on Manchester City's team bus before the Champions League duel at Liverpool FC (0:3). The media had written beforehand "that this would happen - and it happened," said Guardiola: "Normally, when the police know that it will happen, they prevent something like that." He came with his team "to play football, it's sport. I don't understand that." About an hour before kick-off of the quarter-final first leg at Anfield, Liverpool fans threw bottles at the Citizens' bus and set off fireworks. Windows were damaged and City then had to organize a new vehicle to leave the stadium. Liverpool police are now investigating the incidents, and a spokesman condemned the behavior of the affected fans as “completely unacceptable”. The European Football Union UEFA also initiated an investigation on Thursday. "The bus is destroyed. I don't expect Liverpool, such a respected club, to do things like that," said Guardiola: "Of course it wasn't Liverpool, it was the people, but hopefully it won't happen again." The 47-year-old Spaniard also called for more protection for team buses in general and recalled the bomb attack on the bus of Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund a year ago. Liverpool's German team manager Jürgen Klopp apologized for the behavior of the supporters before kick-off. "I really don't understand it," said the 50-year-old: "We tried everything to prevent such a situation." Klopp was very happy with his team's performance. "We beat the best team in the world, that's a really good performance," said the former BVB championship coach: "It was a good evening, but I'm not interested in being good. This competition is about "To get to the next round, and we're not in the next round yet. We're really going to have to work like hell again." The second leg will take place next Tuesday (April 10th).
