Football can be a very intense game, not just for those playing but also those watching. And if the Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp's reaction to a recent Liverpool - Man City match is anything to go by, it can be absolutely 'bottle-wrenching'.

In a eventful match on Thursday, Manchester city beat Liverpool 2-1, taking away the Reds' lead in the Premier League and reignited the race with Liverpool and Tottenham in the mix.

And while there were several fine moments of play on field, one of the best moments of the match came from the sidelines after Liverpool's first goal.

After Man City's Sergio Aguero opened the scoreboard with a goal for the Reds, Liverpool's Roberto Firmino levelled the score with a fantastic goal.

But more than the goal itself, it was Liverpool's manager Jürgen Klopp who caught eyeballs with his unusual 'bottle celebrations'.

After the goal, the tensely watching manager broke into celebration by immediately pulling out his water bottle from his pocket and aggressively squeezing it like a stress ball.

The moment was caught on tape and expresses the immense pressure Klopp must have been in at that moment and the release Firmino's goal provided, albeit temporarily.

Clips of the incident were widely shared on social media.

And weirdest celebration of the season goes to... Jurgen Klopp.

There’s got to be a PHD out there who’d do us all a favor and study and explain Klopp’s hilarious hand/grip/fist goal celebrations. This variant debuts a prop! https://t.co/5iSLF0gTj6
