Jurgen Klopp: Pep Guardiola defends Liverpool boss for wild celebration against Everton
Pep Guardiola has backed rival Jurgen Klopp after the German invaded the pitch to celebrate Liverpool’s last-gasp winner against Everton on Sunday.The Reds boss has since been charged with misconduct by the FA for his actions.2

Klopp admitted he should’ve controlled his emotions

In a dramatic conclusion to the Merseyside derby, Divock Origi’s dramatic injury-time winner moved Liverpool to within two points of Guardiola’s Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.Klopp responded by charging onto the field to celebrate with goalkeeper Alisson Becker, and while Guardiola recognises such actions can be disrespectful, he empathises with Klopp.The Spaniard is is well aware emotions can run high and accepts he himself got carried away after Raheem Sterling scored a late winner against Southampton last season.2

Guardiola celebrated similarly after his team’s dramatic victory over Southampton last season

The City manager said: “I did it against Southampton. There are a lot of emotions in those moments.“I know when I did it I was not happy to have done that, so I can understand (Everton manager) Marco Silva, (then Southampton boss Mauricio) Pellegrino when it happens.“But sometimes it’s what it is, it’s an emotional game. Last minute, everything happens in your mind, heart and body and sometimes you do that. I talk for my side but of course you have to be respectful for the other ones.” Guardiola expects such incidents to be viewed differently by fans of the winning and losing sides.He said: “When you lose you are impolite, you are a bad guy, and when you win everything is acceptable.“We live in a world where everyone judges the winners and we make a lot of big compliments just because we win.”
