Pep Clashes With Liverpool Star, Klopp Responds!

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has opened up about the heated exchange between Pep Guardiola and Darwin Nunez on Saturday.

The two Premier League rivals played to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad, with Trent Alexander-Arnold cancelling out Erling Haaland's first-half goal.

However, tempers flared at the full-time whistle as Klopp was seen trying to calm down Nunez who was involved in an argument with the Citizens coach.

"I am the wrong person to ask," Klopp told reporters after the game.

"We're not fierce rivals (with City), we are just rivals. But I am not sure Darwin Nunez knows about any historical rivals."

Klopp felt his side passed a test by getting a point at the home of the Premier League champions.

"We have passed a test. I am not sure it was THE test, but coming here to face this team is the hardest game in the world," he added.

"We came here with a team that has been together a lot longer than this one and we went under the wheels."
