The classic meeting between Manchester City and Liverpool resulted in a 1-1 tie on November 25 in round 13 of the Premier League. When Haaland opened the scoring in the first half, Pep Guardiola’s team had the upper hand.

They then established a strong position but were unable to score any more goals. Thanks to Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity to equalize. Following the conclusion of the game, the two teams had a disagreement.

Darwin Nunez and Pep Guardiola clashed angrily

When the final whistle blew, both coaches, Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, approached to shake hands. There was no disagreement between them.

When it was Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez’s turn to shake hands with Guardiola, the scene grew tense. Both sides argued and lost their cool.

Darwin Nunez, on the other hand, wanted to dash at Guardiola. Man City’s coach was also unfazed by the Liverpool striker. Both teams’ coaching staffs and players had to interfere immediately to separate them.

Jurgen Klopp himself had to drag his student out. Fortunately, Darwin Nunez and Pep Guardiola did not get into a fight.

What occurred?

This controversy piqued the interest of the British media. Of course, they can’t overlook the topic of what caused the two’s dispute.

However, in the post-match press conference, Pep Guardiola was elusive. To reporters, he said “nothing happened” at least four times.

On the Liverpool side, coach Jurgen Klopp was asked if the debate arose because Liverpool and Manchester City are both major dramas.

“Darwin Nunez’s argument with Pep Guardiola has nothing to do with the rivalry between the two teams,” he responded. We are adversaries, not rivals. The event that occurred following the match was not reported. It’s not a rivalry, and I don’t think Darwin Nunez is concerned about it. It’s all just feelings.

Because I’m not personally involved, I’m not sure if I should be the one explaining it. I care about both of them, therefore I attempted reconciliation while not knowing what transpired between them. Man City and we both want to win. This has resulted in difficult-to-control emotions.”

With each team earning one point in this game, both Manchester City and Liverpool allowed Arsenal to past them and take the top spot in the Premier League table following round 13.
