The physical confrontation between the teammates of Liverpool Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold during training on Monday was played as “light ribs”.
The Liverpool team took the training ground in its Kirkby database before the Decisive Champions League this week at 16 games in match against Paris Saint-Germain.
The day before UEFA matches, clubs must allow media staff to observe a shortened session which precedes a pre-match press conference. This lasts only 15 minutes, before journalists and cameras operators move inside and the complete session takes place from the prying eyes.
But Liverpool would not have put banking on Salah and Alexander-Arnold, provoking a scene in front of those who look when some pushs took place and the colleagues intervened to separate them.
Images have shown that Salah, smiling all the time, goes up to Alexander-Arnold, whose face was certainly not the same thing the same emotion, and initiate the push. It was not particularly dramatic, but Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott have all seen enough to get involved as infusers.

This provoked an agitation among the media and fans, two so-called at war on the eve of one of the biggest games of the season, against an opponent who was ahead of Liverpool last week.
THE Liverpool Echo Since then reported that there was nothing much, certainly no deep beef, and the pair was seen laughing and joking together later in the day.
But whatever the context now apparently banal, and whether or not it is a joke in full knowledge that the cameras were on the verge of height at that time, it was not a good look.
Salah and Alexander-Arnold continue to have an uncertain future in Liverpool. They are each out of contract at the end of the season, with Salah which makes public a lack of update on a new agreement several times and losing pressures on the club, and Alexander-Arnold a major transfer target for Real Madrid when he approaches a free agency state.
