Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has lifted the lid of standing next to Jurgen Klopp on the touchline, after the Italian shared a discussion he and the Liverpool boss had at Stamford Bridge last month.

Sarri's side were moments away from a crucial three points over the Reds before Daniel Sturridge's late equaliser rescued a point for the away side.

But despite staring defeat in the face in the closing stages, Klopp kept smiling - as the former Napoli coach recalled warmly.

"There are moments when the grand spectacle of it all convinces you to put aside any regrets," he told Corriere dello Sport. "Even if you concede at the last minute or five minutes into stoppage time.

“That was an extraordinary show. Just 10 minutes earlier, I saw Klopp looking at me with the game going on.

"I asked: ‘Why are you smiling?’ He replied: ‘Aren’t you having fun?’

“I said: ‘so much’ and he added: ‘me too.’ He was losing at the time.

"Even after the equaliser, remembering that moment, we hugged like two old friends.

“I’m sure he would’ve done the same even if Liverpool hadn’t equalised.
