De Bruyne reproached Guardiola after being subbed off, who soothed him on the bench

Manchester City were playing a 'final' at Anfield for the Premier League title and the match against Liverpool ended in a pulsating draw (1-1). The match was hard fought and even De Bruyne, one of the stars of the Cityzens, was annoyed after Pep Guardiola took him off the pitch.
After 69 minutes, the Santpedor boss made two changes and one of them was the exit of the Belgian, who did not take kindly to his coach taking him off the pitch. The playmaker, already on the bench, slapped the Catalan's right hand and did not hide his anger.
De Bruyne was aware of what was at stake for his team and did not want to leave the pitch. Shortly afterwards, the broadcast cameras captured the moment when Guardiola approached his player's seat to explain why he had done so.
The pressure was more than evident and even more so in a match of this kind. The Sky Blues, after sharing spoils with the Reds, dropped to 3rd place in the English championship as Arsenal took advantage of the draw at Anfield. Now it is the Gunners who are leading the Premier League standings.
