Jurgen Klopp’s men came up just short in the Premier League title race this season, being pipped to the post by Manchester City.
However, Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 on Saturday to win the Champions League and so have ended 2018/19 on a high.
As a result, the sound of rival fans booing one of their star men far from infuriated the Reds fans, and instead gave them a chance to boast on social media.
