The heated exchange between Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines of Liverpool’s game against West Ham on Saturday added more drama to an already intense match. Salah was waiting to come onto the pitch as a substitute in the second half, adding intrigue to the situation.
As Liverpool struggled to keep up with West Ham’s attacks, Darwin Nunez pushed Salah away, causing tensions to rise even further. The fact that Salah was on the bench for such an important must-win game for Liverpool was a story in itself.
Klopp seemed to say something to Salah, but the forward did not react well as they watched on as West Ham scored to make it 2-2 against Liverpool. It remains to be seen what Klopp will say about the exchange after the game, but it did not look like a pleasant moment between the manager and the forward.
The loss of points for Liverpool meant that their chances of winning the Premier League title were slimmed down significantly. However, they still had one more match left against Manchester United, which could determine their fate in the end.
