- LISTEN NOW: It’s All Kicking Off! With the Premier League likely securing five Champions League spots, are we rewarding mediocrity?
This is the heated moment that saw Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold having to be separated from one another in training.
The pair appeared to clash in a session ahead of their crunch Champions League tie against PSG, with fellow Liverpool players Harvey Elliott and Ibrahima Konate having to separate them.
In a clip posted online by sports agency Hayters TV, Alexander-Arnold can be seen clapping his hands while gesturing towards Salah – who appears to react to his comments.
The Egyptian winger can then be seen advancing towards him and giving him a gentle push, to which he reacts by moving back in Salah’s direction.
Elliott can then be seen holding Salah back while Ibrahima Konate puts an arm around the England full-back to move him away.
The clip then ends with the team-mates walking away from each other with no further incident recorded.

The incident comes with the Reds looking to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals, as they seek to keep hold of their 1-0 advantage against PSG.
Tuesday’s return leg at Anfield follows a dominant performance by Luis Enrique’s side in Paris but ended up being one in which they had nothing to show for it.
Despite having 27 shots on goal during the first leg, PSG failed to find the back of the net thanks to an inspired performance from Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
PSG were then punished further when Harvey Elliott netted just three minutes from time with what could prove to be a crucial strike.
While his side do have the upper hand in the contest at the halfway point, that comes as scant consolation to Arne Slot.
The Dutchman revealed he is having sleepless nights ahead of the second leg and insists Liverpool must put in their performance of the season to progress in Tuesday night’s Champions League last-16 second leg.
It is ahead of a season-defining week for Liverpool, in which they also play the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle on Sunday.
Arne Slot knows the job is only half done as his side prepare to host the French champions
Slot said: ‘In a week like this I do not dream at all. I just know I have to work really, really, really hard to prepare the team in the best possible way.
‘If you have a game like we did last week, you feel like, “Can I even go to sleep at all? Or do I have to watch even more?” So no, I do not dream at all at the moment about this week.
‘This is the most complete team we have faced so far. What I mean with complete is that, OK we have faced Arsenal and City and they are not big margins but the intensity they play at combined with the quality they have and they are one of the richest clubs.
‘They have so much quality and a great, great, great manager (Luis Enrique). It is not easy to play against his team, he brings the best out of every player and brings an incredible workrate in the team.’
