What Man City boss Pep Guardiola said to Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas after bizarre touchline confrontation

Kostas Tsimikas has revealed what Pep Guardiola said to him following their bizarre confrontation during Liverpool's defeat at Manchester City last month.

City boss Guardiola celebrated Julian Alvarez’s equaliser during his team's 4-1 win at the Etihad in wild fashion on the touchline before trying to joke with Reds substitutes Tsimikas and Arthur Melo as the pair returned to the bench from their warm-ups.
