Jurgen Klopp will have been thrilled with his Liverpool players' performance in beating Villarreal 2-0 in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday night.
He certainly had a smile on his face at full-time - but it was the antics of Villarreal man Juan Foyth that had him laughing, not the performance of his own team.
At full-time, Foyth came charging over to the Liverpool bench and appeared unhappy with Trent Alexander-Arnold in particular. As the Argentinean defender was calmed down, Klopp could be seen laughing at his aggression.
Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool boss finds hot headed Foyth hilarious after semi-final clash
Villarreal upset the apple cart in getting to the Champions League semi-finals, but they finally came unstuck at Anfield on Wednesday. In all honesty, Liverpool should have had at least four on the night, with Villarreal under immense pressure all the way through the game and creating 0xG on the night.
The frustration seemed too much for Juan Foyth, who charged over to Trent Alexander-Arnold when the final whistle blew.
The English right-back seemed bemused by Foyth's approach.
Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian came over with the intial intention of calming down Foyth, but eventually became the updated focus of Foyth's aggression.
Jurgen Klopp stood back and watched Alexander-Arnold and Adrian dealing with the Villarreal defender. Klopp initially looked bemused, before cracking a smile and chuckling to himself as Adrian stood up to Foyth.
Klopp has always been a colourful character on the touchline. He clearly found the pointless handbags amusing, and enjoyed his substitute goalie coming in to stand up for his teammates.
Needless to say, the incident was noticed by many on Twitter.
Juan Foyth seeming very frustrated, which Klopp and Adrian share a laugh about.

Klopp had plenty of reason to be smiling at the game's conclusion. His side will travel to Spain next Tuesday with a 2-0 lead over the Yellow Submarine.
