The match between Liverpool and West Ham in the English Premier League witnessed a very bad moment for Reds fans, when Mohamed Salah quarreled with his coach Jurgen Klopp on the touchline.
Salah did not participate for the second match in a row in a major way in light of his recent decline, and it seems that this left a deep impact on the player’s relationship with the coach.
Klopp decided to bring Salah on in the 79th minute, and while giving him instructions before Al-Masry went onto the field, a very heated argument broke out between them.
What happened between the two is still unknown, but Salah’s face was greatly angered, as if he was blaming the German for delaying his arrival.
Darwin Nunez, who was also on his way to the field, was forced to intervene to separate Salah and Klopp and end the altercation.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, and with it Liverpool practically lost the opportunity to win the Premier League title in Klopp’s last season at Anfield.
Over the course of 7 years of working together, Klopp never stopped praising Salah, and vice versa, which raises wonders about what happened between them in Klopp’s final days with Liverpool.
