Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil were involved in a massive bust-up as they walked off the pitch after Arsenal's 6-3 defeat at the Etihad.
Mertesacker stormed over to Ozil - for not applauding the away support(For Not saluting the Arsenal fans) and jabbed his finger in the midfielder's face at the final whistle.
The spat was apparently as a consequence of Ozil not applauding the travelling Gunners fans, and was laughed off by boss Arsene Wenger, who said: 'The Germans will sort that out between themselves, don't worry.'
Nevertheless, the pair, who play together in the German national team and are known to be close friends, exchanged heated words as Ozil made his way towards the tunnel.
Mertesacker's fury at Ozil came after one of the £42.5million signing's worst games for the club since his move from Real Madrid.
Ozil reacted to the exchange by mouthing an obscenity and flailing his arms as Mertesacker continued the row.
The Arsenal defender then made his way over towards the travelling fans and threw his shirt into the crowd as a gesture and mark of respect.
