Liverpool’s clash against West Ham ended in a 2-2 draw, but the spotlight wasn’t solely on the match. Manager Jurgen Klopp and star forward Mohamed Salah were caught in a touchline disagreement during the game.
Salah, who was on the bench, seemed poised to enter the pitch after West Ham’s 77th-minute equalizer when Klopp approached him for a discussion. The Egyptian winger responded with animated gestures, prompting a visible exchange between the two. Teammate Darwin Nunez intervened to defuse the situation.

Klopp remained tight-lipped about the incident, stating, “We’ve addressed it in the dressing room. It’s resolved for me.”
Salah, when questioned post-game, hinted at underlying tensions, cryptically stating, “There would be repercussions if I spoke.”
The spat comes amidst Salah’s recent form slump, having scored only once in his last six appearances and finding himself benched in two of Liverpool’s last three outings.
With Klopp set to depart at the season’s end after nearly nine years in charge, the incident adds intrigue to Liverpool’s already eventful season.
