Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson appeared to defy Jurgen Klopp's instructions during the defeat to Barcelona .
The Reds were beaten 3-0 in the Champions League semi-final first leg at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.
Lionel Messi scored twice for Barca, including a stunning free-kick to take his tally to 600 goals for the club.
Liverpool now have a mountain to climb to reach the final as they failed to grab a crucial away goal despite Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino going close late on.
And it appeared Klopp was desperate for his side to score - so much so, he tried to throw goalkeeper Alisson up.

BT Sport co-commentator and former Anfield favourite Steve McManaman suggested Klopp told Alisson to go up for the corner.
The incident wasn't spotted by the TV cameras and although the Brazilian eventually obliged, he was immediately told to head back to goal by Salah.
McManaman said: "Jurgen’s pointing at Alisson to get in the box as well, and Alisson just said no to him!
“Now he’s going. He’s been told no again. Salah said no to him this time.”
Jurgen Klopp's message to Liverpool players in dressing room after Barcelona defeat
Barca very nearly added a fourth from the corner as they broke in numbers but failed to find the finish.
Despite the defeat, Klopp insisted he was proud of his players for their performance.
“What did I say to them after the game? I said that I am really proud of them, that I liked a lot of things about the game,” he said.
What Liverpool fans noticed during TV coverage against Barcelona
“I don’t have to think about the next game against Barcelona yet, we have Newcastle and that will have all of our focus. We will go to the hotel, have a proper sleep, get up in the morning and fly home.
“Whatever happens, these boys, I couldn’t be more proud of them. People who haven’t seen the game will see the result and say strange things about it, but they always strike back in these kind of games."
