Jose Mourinho criticised Jurgen Klopp's exuberant touchline behaviour after Tottenham were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool at Anfield.
The Reds returned to the top of the Premier League table at the expense of Spurs following Roberto Firmino's late header.
Tottenham had looked like securing a point after Son Heung-Min had cancelled out Mohamed Salah's opener.
On what was said after the final whistle, Mourinho replied: "I told him the best team lost. He disagreed, but that's his opinion."
Klopp was mystified when Mourinho's comments were put to him.
He said: "Then my English is worse than I thought. I thought he said to me the better team lost and nothing about my behaviour on the touchline, so I have no idea what it is."
