There was a dispute between the Anfield duo on the sideline at the London Stadium as Salah was getting ready to enter the field. This happened as the score was leveled by the Irons thanks to Michail Antonio. Salah appeared to react to something his boss said and forward Darwin Nunez intervened before things could escalate further. After the game, Klopp had a conversation with Salah to address the incident.

Ex-Liverpool forward Peter Crouch mentioned that it did not look good and expressed his belief that Salah was unhappy about being on the bench.
