Liverpool fans mock Barcelona after tweet boasting they will score spectacularly backfires

LIVERPOOL fans have ripped into Barcelona’s Twitter account after it boasted that they would score at least one away goal during last night’s 4-0 humiliation.

The Reds stunned the La Liga champions by overturning a 3-0 first-leg deficit at Anfield in one of the great Champions League comebacks ever.

There was an air of arrogance about Barca’s performance, with the La Liga champions playing like the job was already complete.

And it appears it wasn’t just on the field where the club’s confidence was sky-high.

After falling behind to Divock Origi’s early goal, they tweeted: “We score, Liverpool need FIVE – and we’re going to get at least one… agreed?”

Barca rarely troubled Alisson in the Liverpool goal before Georginio Wiljnaldum and Origi scored three in the second half.

And Red supporters were quick to remind Barcelona’s Twitter account of their earlier comment after the contest.

One wrote: “Define: Tweet that didn’t age well.”

Another added: “There you go, jinxed it.”

A third said: “see you in the final…. OH WAIT.”

Barcelona fans were further mocked online as images of them in tears at the full-time whistle went viral.

As Liverpool fans revelled in glory, many others took even more satisfaction from the clips of the sad and stunned faces in the away end shown on TV.

One tweeted: “Hahahaha crying Barca fans, one of my favourites things in life.”

Another said: “Salty Barca fanboys, this is the point where you might want to turn around and go back to crying in the corner.”

Passions were running high after the incredible scenes as a number of Liverpool players were also reduced to tears as their achievement began to sink in.
