The key player of the Reds began the journey to the London Stadium as a substitute, which came as a surprise to most individuals. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is known for his proactive approach, made the decision to substitute the former Chelsea and Roma player into the game in the 78th minute following Michail Antonio’s goal to level the score.
The altercation began when the German approached the winger to deliver his parting remarks. Salah seemed to be displeased with Klopp’s statement, expressing his disagreement by gesturing with his arms while his manager continued to talk.
