LIVERPOOL, England : And so the curtain came down on one of the greatest Premier League managerial rivalries as Juergen Klopp and Pep Guardiola hugged heartily after their sides had slugged each other to a standstill at Anfield on Sunday.

Klopp will walk away at the end of the season after a glittering near decade-long reign on Merseyside that has seen the club scoop every major prize and go head-to-head with Guardiola's City in several epic title races. While similar rivalries involving the likes of Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho were often laced with bad blood - the warmth with which Klopp and Guardiola embraced on Sunday spoke volumes for the respect they share.

Klopp was coy when asked when they had said to each other after the final whistle but said that when the dust has settled on their respective careers, they are likely to become friends.
