Borussia Dortmund experienced a nightmare start to their UEFA Champions League campaign Wednesday, losing 2-1 at Napoli.
Beaten finalists last season, BVB opened the 2013-14 Champions League season with a trip to Italy to face Napoli. Put simply, things didn't go well.Inexplicably livid with Napoli’s perfectly legitimate opening goal, Klopp appeared to morph into a gurning wolverine, and was sent to the stands by the petrified fourth official before he was eaten alive by the man-beast.The Dortmund manager later went on to apologise "I made myself look like a monkey out there and that's not on," "I overstepped the mark and it was really pathetic of me" Klopp told ZDF television.Napoli, coached by Rafa Benitez, went 2-0 up through goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Lorenzo Insigne, and despite Camilo Zuniga putting through his own net, they still lost.
It’s not clear if Uefa will take further action against Klopp, although the defeat and the loss of his goalkeeper Weidenfeller in a difficult Champions League group is probably enough punishment.
