Liverpool sent Champions League warning amid Jurgen Klopp protests
Liverpool have been sent a strong warning by RB Leipzig ahead of their Champions League clash next week. The Reds are due to face the German club on Wednesday night in their third league phase fixture of the competition this season.
Liverpool will take on Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday in their fixture just before travelling to Germany to face Leipzig. The Bundesliga outfit were in action on Saturday afternoon in the top flight against Mainz.
First-half goals from Xavi Simons and Willi Orban secured a 2-0 victory for Leipzig just days before facing Liverpool in a firm warning for Arne Slot's players ahead of the Champions League clash. The game also saw the home crowd at Mainz send a message to former Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.

It was confirmed earlier this month that Klopp would become the new Global Head of Soccer for the Red Bull Group. The former Liverpool boss takes on the role on January 1, eight months after leaving his role in the Anfield dugout to be replaced by Arne Slot.
The decision by Klopp to join the Red Bull Group has been met with some backlash in Germany, particularly among the fanbases of his former clubs, Mainz and Borussia Dortmund. Klopp spent seven years as manager of each club, respectively, from 2001-15 before taking charge at Liverpool, and it was a section of Mainz supporters who made their voices heard by the former Reds manager.
During the clash against Leipzig, Mainz fans unfurled a banner in the stadium, which sent a message to Klopp. "Have you forgotten everything we made you become? Are you crazy?" read the banner.
There was another message on a separate banner further down the stand, which appeared to reference an apparent former quote by Klopp. "I like people up to the point where they disappoint me," the second banner read.
As part of the new role, Klopp will work with to support the various clubs within the Red Bull Group. As well as Leipzig, the group have clubs with Red Bull Salzburg, New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Bragantino.
