Jurgen Klopp defends Liverpool fans who booed national anthem at Wembley
“They wouldn’t do if there was no reason. I’ve not been here long enough to understand the reason for it – it’s for sure something historical – and that’s probably questions you can answer much better than I could ever.
“The majority of our supporters are wonderful people. Really smart, go through lows and highs. They wouldn’t do it without reason.”
Liverpool fans have booed the national anthem for several decades, but their behaviour on Saturday has been met with criticism.
Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons, said: “I utterly condemn any fans who booed Prince William at Wembley today.
“The FA Cup final should be an occasion when we come together as a country. It should not be ruined by a minority of fans’ totally shameful behaviour. In this year of all years – the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee – this is dreadful.”
