At a critical juncture with the score tied at 2-2, Salah was on the brink of entering the fray at London Stadium when a tense confrontation erupted between him and the German manager in the 82nd minute. The Egyptian forward visibly grew agitated, with teammate Darwin Nunez stepping in to diffuse the situation. Following the match, which essentially dashed Liverpool’s faint hopes of clinching the Premier League title, Klopp remained tight-lipped regarding the altercation.

Speaking to TNT Sports, the former Borussia Dortmund boss stated, “No [I can’t say what was said]. We spoke already in the dressing room [about the incident]. For me that’s done.”

Klopp’s impending departure from Liverpool at the season’s end coincided with the team’s pursuit of a quadruple. However, their aspirations unravelled rapidly after securing the Carabao Cup, with subsequent exits from the FA Cup and Europa League. Recent setbacks in the league against Crystal Palace and Everton, coupled with the draw against West Ham, have significantly dampened any hopes for a glorious farewell for Klopp and Liverpool. Furthermore, the discord between Salah and his manager signals potential internal issues within the squad.

Liverpool’s next fixture will see them host Champions League hopefuls Tottenham on Sunday, May 5th. With just three matches remaining in the season, they trail Manchester City by one point, with City having two games in hand, and are two points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, who also possess a game in hand.
