All eyes were on the touchline - but Pep Guardiola ensured there would be no fireworks at Anfield on Sunday. As the home fans jeered De Bruyne's frustrated exchange with Guardiola and Juanma Lillo, the manager walked away. At full time, Klopp and Guardiola shared a hug and a chat, before Guardiola ensured his players thanked their fans. Klopp, on the other hand, couldn't resist an animated discussion with the referee over a potential late penalty. Or was it a perfect summation of the contrasting styles cancelling each other out, as most of this brilliant rivalry has done - control vs chaos, emotion vs method, Guardiola vs Klopp.
