Champions League
A clip from Hayters TV revealed high tensions before the match against PSG in the Champions League.
Two of Liverpool’s stars, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, were involved in a heated clash during training ahead of the crucial Champions League match against PSG on Tuesday at Anfield.
Footage broadcast by Hayters TV shows the pair confronting each other before escalating into a brief brawl. Alexander-Arnold can be seen applauding and gesturing at Salah, while the Egyptian forward responds with a raised finger as the argument continues.
Teammates Harvey Elliott and Ibrahima Konaté step in to mediate and prevent the situation from escalating further.

Contract uncertainty for the pair in question
Both Alexander-Arnold and Salah are among Liverpool’s biggest stars, yet neither has renewed their contract, despite their current deals expiring on June 30.
Liverpool are facing a pivotal moment in their season, with a lot at stake. They will play the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle on Saturday, are well-positioned in the Premier League, and are fully focused on progressing as far as possible in the Champions League.
Having secured a 1-0 victory in the first leg against PSG in Paris, they will need to capitalise on that advantage in the return leg. Tension within the squad appears to be at an all-time high.
