After the final whistle, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp exchanged a respectful handshake. The Spanish coach told his colleague that the two teams had just had a great match. Before that, Pep also took the initiative to shake hands with Trent Alexander-Arnold, the player who scored for Liverpool.
Darwin Nunez suddenly approached Pep Guardiola. However, the two sides quickly argued, forcing coach Klopp to run over to stop them. Nunez is said to have said to Pep: "Hey man, do you like Alexander-Arnold's goal?".
After pulling his student away, Klopp continued to walk with Pep to explain on behalf of his student. The Man City head coach did not seem to mind. He once again shook Klopp's hand and walked into the tunnel.
Arguments broke out after the match at the Etihad.
Man City took the lead thanks to Erling Haaland but could not maintain the advantage. In the 80th minute, Mohamed Salah assisted Trent Alexander-Arnold to shoot decisively from the 16.5m line, giving Ederson no chance to block.
1-1 was also the final score at Etihad. Man City still holds the top spot, but is at risk of being overtaken by Arsenal, if the "Gunners" defeat Brentford early tomorrow morning (November 26).
Klopp has yet to get his first win against Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium, in the Premier League alone. The last time Klopp beat the "Cityzens" away from home in the domestic league was 8 years ago, a 4-1 victory over Man City led by Manuel Pellegrini.
After this match, Man City will continue to face a difficult challenge named Tottenham of coach Ange Postecoglou, while Liverpool will face Fulham.
