Following Liverpool’s draw with Man City, Alexis Mac Allister has disclosed the reason behind Darwin Nunez’s confrontation with Pep Guardiola.

Darwin Nunez and Pep Guardiola got into a confrontation following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City last weekend, and Alexis Mac Allister has now explained why.

Erling Haaland’s opening goal was nullified by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late equaliser, giving the Reds a share of the victory at the Etihad. However, Nunez, a striker for Liverpool, gained notoriety following the final whistle after getting into a furious argument with the City manager.

Both Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp downplayed the incident in their post-match press conferences, with neither disclosing what had sparked the altercation. Klopp would try to calm things down by holding Nunez back.

However, Mac Allister, who at the time found the debate amusing before helping Klopp, Adrian, and Curtis Jones attempt to reassure Nunez, has disclosed how Guardiola’s response to a late Haaland miss ultimately set off the argument.

The Reds midfielder told Clank, “I imagine Jurgen didn’t understand anything (that was said) after the game!” was questioned on what enraged Nunez. “I was saying nothing to him when he inquired what I was saying. It was a pretty small thing.

“As Jurgen mentioned, Pep and Darwin are both highly emotional individuals, and it was insignificant. Darwin answered to a comment made by Pep, but it wasn’t very extraordinary.

And for that reason, I was also chuckling. I would surely not laugh that way if I realised how serious it was. However, nothing had me laughing quite as much as Darwin’s lightning-fast anger.

Following Liverpool's draw with Man City, Alexis Mac Allister has disclosed the reason behind Darwin Nunez's confrontation with Pep Guardiola.

Aside from that, Pep first believed he was acting all in jest, and Darwin was unavoidably on his side. That had changed his features slightly at that point.

The entire event was a little humorous, but those are the kinds of things that never really go away. Nothing was wrong at the time, and I believe they both have a great deal of regard for one another.

Indeed (Darwin took it seriously, but Pep saw it more as a joke),” Mac Allister went on. Though I’m not sure if I should, I’m going to tell you what triggered it. In essence, they were in a predicament.

“I’m not sure if Haaland headed a cross or a corner, but the ball passed the goal next to the post. Pep spun around and began gushing about how fortunate we are or something similar.

“Then comes the final play of the play. Lucho Diaz tries to head the ball into the middle, but they save it. Darwin then says to Guardiola, “Ah, you are the ones who are lucky now.”

“Everything went to hell after that. But there was a great deal of calm. Nothing grave.

Trent Alexander-Arnold responded with a long-range striker in the second half of play, but Erling Haaland gave the Premier League champions the lead in the first.

After the game, Klopp discussed the injuries with Sky Sports, stating that Jota might miss some time due to a muscle ailment and that he will have to wait and see how his goalie is doing.

Although the Brazilian international is one of Liverpool’s most reliable players, Klopp is devastated by Alisson’s departure. The Reds do, however, have a backup for the attacker
