(Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has criticised the choice of Baku as the venue for this month's Europa League final and said soccer's European governing body UEFA needed to address the way it selected host cities.
Fans of London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea face a more than 8,000 km round trip to attend the all-Premier League clash next to the Caspian Sea in the Azerbaijan capital on May 29.
"I think these guys who made these decisions, I don't know what they had for breakfast really when they did it. "These decision they must be much more sensible," Klopp said."It looks irresponsible, I don't know how they do it and I sympathise a lot with the fans."
