Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has been banned for one Champions League game for an outburst that he himself described as “pathetic.”
“I made myself look like amonkey out there and that’s not on,” said Klopp. “I overstepped the mark and it was really pathetic of me.”
Klopp was ejected during his team’s 2-1 loss to Napoli after berating the fourthofficial for taking too long to allow defender Neven Subotic to return to the field. Klopp won’t be allowed on the bench for the home game against Marseille on Oct. 1.
