They almost punched each other: Clopp finds out exactly what happened between him and Artemis last night

Jurgen Klopp has acknowledged that he deserved the yellow card for his part in the debate with Arsenal manager Michael Arteta on Saturday evening.

The two trainers were punished yellow in the first part of Liverpool's 4-0 victory over Arsenal after having a heated discussion near the field.

The incident occurred after Sadio Mane and Takehiro Tomiyasu had an air duel for a head attack, with the Arsenal manager calling for Liverpool's star to be punished.

Klopp reacted to Arsenal's staff complaints and said he is tired of trainers attacking assailant Mane and seeking his punishment after any intervention.

The situation was not planned. The situation was that Sadio made a clean intervention, no one did foul and they got up and it's a little clear to me that there was nothing”, Klopp first told the BBC.

He's just a physical player you can't do that, it happens so often and it's not right. When they get off the bank, it's hard not to stand up and say something”.

It was about the situation that was not foul by Sadio [Mane], but the Arsenal bank was raised as if it were a red card. I asked what they wanted in that” situation.

We had to remove Sadion against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League because they wanted him to get a yellow card. The judge did very well in that situation. I earned him a yellow card. It wasn't right, and that's what I said. It just happened at the moment”.

If it were a harsh intervention, we're all like this, but it was nothing, he didn't even touch it, it was just two players who fought in the air. And Arthur's reaction was not right, and that's what I said”, the German finished.
