Man Utd legend Neville brilliantly trolls himself after tweet taunting Liverpool’s Champions League collapse backfires
GARY NEVILLE hilariously mocked himself after a tweet poking fun at Liverpool’s Champions League capitulation backfired.
Taking a two-goal lead into the second leg of their semi-final against Villarreal, Jurgen Klopp’s men were stunned in the first half as they went into the break level at 2-2 on aggregate.
And Man Utd legend Neville was quick to take to social media and post a clip of him laughing while sipping a glass of red wine.
But it would be Liverpool who were celebrating an hour later as they fought back through goals from Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane to clinch a 5-2 aggregate victory and book their place in the final.
Then as the end of the game approached, Neville posted a picture looking incredibly glum as he crouched over his glass of wine.
It has been a running joke throughout the season, with Neville often getting excited when Liverpool are in trouble.

They are one point behind Man City in the title race with four games remaining.
