And the two managers appeared to clash after the full-time whistle, with Klopp seemingly angry with his opposite number as they shook hands.Speaking after the incident, the German explained that Kovac left him waiting for a handshake while he high-fived everyone on the Bayern bench.Klopp said: “That was a pure misunderstanding. “I wanted to shake his hand immediately [after the game]. But Niko first high-fived all Bavaria not Bayern Munich all Bavaria.“Then I said to him, when he came back, ‘hey, maybe next time turn around to me for a second; then well do that and I can go see my people. Because I was standing there a bit like a dope’.”According to Klopp, the Bayern manager wanted to congratulate Franck Ribery, who recently became a father, but the Liverpool boss dismissed the excuse as a poor one.The pair clashed after the full-time whistleBT Sport3

The Bayern boss said: “Everything was ok. Its customary in England to shake hands after the final whistle.“In this case, I first went to my bench and not to him. He [Klopp] isnt familiar with that in England.“I apologized for it; no offence was intended, after all. We shook hands afterwards.”
