Klopp and Milner were ready to rumble in Liverpool fight as Klavan says German coach would have 'gone all the way'

 The former Reds defender claims tension behind the scenes reached boiling point in 2017 when the manager and midfielder squared up

Jurgen Klopp and James Milner were once ready to trade blows, former Liverpool defender Ragnar Klavan has revealed, with the Reds boss prepared to have "gone all the way just to prove his point".

Back in January 2017, following a 2-2 draw away at Sunderland that put another dent in their Premier League title challenge, pressure in the Anfield camp began to tell.

The German coach and the experienced England international's tempers boiled over, with a dressing room fight on the cards before the latter backed down.
