Pep Guardiola and Mohamed Salah allegedly discussed a refereeing judgment following Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday, according to expert lip reader John Cassidy.
At the full-time whistle, Guardiola and Salah were seen on camera speaking, and the topic of their conversation has been rumored by fans.
The Liverpool forward’s lips were covered, but Guardiola’s wasn’t, so it’s unknown what he shouted.
After watching the video, Cassidy believes the Man City manager said to Salah, “Have a good season, good game, you too, what’s up? [concealed behind Salah] There is no question; it is certain, not possibly. It’s unmistakably unmistakable.
Guardiola might have been talking about City’s goal that was disallowed.
After spotting an earlier infraction by Erling Haaland on Fabinho, the VAR official disallowed Phil Foden’s second-half goal. It was determined that the Norwegian had forced his opponent to the ground.
