Zinedine Zidane remained unmoved after Jurgen Klopp appeared to question the merits of Real Madrid's Alfredo Di Stefano stadium following Liverpool's Champions League defeat.
The Reds went down 3-1 in the Champions League quarter-final at the Alfredo Di Stefano training ground complex, and Klopp didn't seem best pleased with the surroundings.
After the match the Reds boss said: "This here tonight was really strange because it was a difficult situation in the stadium, but Anfield is at least a proper stadium and that will be good for us."
Zidane didn't engage in a war of words when Klopp's comment was put to him though, saying: "I don't have an opinion about what Jurgen says, we are proud to play in this stadium."
On the second leg, the Frenchman added: " Liverpool is the opponent and we know they are going to leave all they have on the pitch, I have no question about that," Zidane said.
"We just need to be ready and it is going to be a very good second leg match. We will need to do the same thing in the second leg.
"We are happy with the result but we have won nothing. We are happy with the performance and what the players have done is huge after a lot of difficulties in our season.
"There is a long road ahead and we are alive. Today is the first leg but we'll know we'll have a second leg and our idea is to think that we go into that and the result will be 0-0.
"For us, we are happy but we have another complicated game for the second leg.
"These two sides are quite offensive and we knew we could hurt them from that aspect, so we prepared properly.
"What we did quite well was defend properly with the three in the middle and we know if we defend properly we will get chances in the attack and that is what happened.
"The first goal was quite beautiful with a wonderful pass from Toni [Kroos]."
