Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Tottenham Hotspur counterpart Jose Mourinho are set to star in a beautiful and media-friendly duel this season, with their competitive attitudes present in both press conferences and on the sidelines.
The Reds were able to emerge victorious over Spurs on Wednesday night thanks to a last-minute winner from Roberto Firmino, a result which took Liverpool top of the table, three points above second-placed Tottenham.
It was evident after the match that Klopp and Mourinho had some words for one another, which the Portuguese explained in his post-match interview.

“I told him [Klopp] the best team lost and he disagreed, but that’s his opinion,” Mourinho told Amazon Prime Video.
“If I behave the same way he does on the touchline, I do not stay there. That’s [only] animated? Do you want me to take the board with the added time from the fourth official’s hands and see what happens to me? For some reason I am different.”
Klopp then confirmed what Mourinho had said to him, although he thought the former Real Madrid coach was trying to be humorous.
“[Mourinho] didn’t say anything to me about my behaviour on the touchline,” Klopp said afterwards.
“I thought he said the best team lost. It was not heated at all. I thought he was joking, but he wasn’t. So that’s it.”
