Darwin Nunez of Liverpool and Pep Guardiola of Manchester City got into an altercation after the game.
The two Premier League heavyweights fought to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium earlier today.
The Premier League winners took the lead in the first half thanks to Erling Haaland, but they were left to regret their squandered opportunities as Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a late equalizer to give the Reds a point.
Upon the final whistle, Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp were observed exchanging handshakes in response to the scoreless draw.
Then, evidently enraged, Nunez, 24, approached the City chief, and the two got into a heated verbal altercation.
Klopp had to separate the Liverpool forward from the Spaniard when they got into a violent argument, but what started it is still a mystery.
Commentator Peter Drury added, “There are apparently some unpleasant words being exchanged” in response to the altercation as it unfolded throughout the match.
Pep Guardiola and Darwin Nunez got into an angry confrontation. The two of them required space.
As mentioned earlier, City took the lead in the first half thanks to Haaland. Due to his goal, he became the quickest player in Premier League history to score fifty goals, breaking Andy Cole’s record by seventeen games.
The sensational Norwegian scored his fifth league goal since signing for Manchester City for £51 million in 2022 with a well-taken opening against the Reds.
He broke Andy Cole’s lengthy record of 65 league appearances, which he achieved in only 48.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s spectacular strike guaranteed that Liverpool earned a point, finally bringing Man City crashing back.
City are still in first place of the league, even if they were drawn at home by Klopp’s team. If Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal beat Brentford tonight, they might take over first place.
With one point between them and the champs, Klopp’s Liverpool team is in second place. The Merseyside club will play host to LASK on Thursday before their next league match, against Fulham at Anfield.
