No animosity to see here, people.
In a highly-anticipated fixture that failed to live up to its potential entertainment value, Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp was seen sharing a laugh on the touchline with his former pupil Mario Gotze, who left the Westfalenstadion in 2013 to join Bayern Munich for a reported €37-million transfer fee.
After Bayern's substitutes took a stroll directly in front of Dortmund's bench, Klopp approached Gotze and the two exchanged some words that left a smile on both faces.
It's impossible to know exactly what Klopp said, but given the Bundesliga table, we can only assume that it was some kind of plea for the 22-year-old phenom to return to his former club.
