Sevilla Twitter admin trolls Reds after City win
Sevilla’s Twitter admin has trolled Liverpool following their 3-0 Champions League win against Manchester City.
The Spanish side famously (or infamously) were trailing the Reds by the same scoreline before hitting back and claiming a draw.
On that night, Liverpool were 3-0 up inside the first half thanks to two goals from Roberto Firmino and one from Sadio Mane.
But Sevilla kept pushing and were rewarded for their efforts when they netted three times in the second half – including an injury time equalizer through Guido Pizarro. And that’s the ammunition the Twitter admin used to troll Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Back in November it seemed unlikely that results would progress in the manner they have, but that shows a clear development of this team under the manager and that’s incredible encouraging.
Obviously there are key differences between the two results – although the fact that City have 90 minutes to get back into the contest should give Liverpool fans a few butterflies in their stomach.
But Klopp has assembled a different side now, one led by Virgil van Dijk at the back and an increasingly confident Loris Karius in goal.

The Citizens also have a better, and more expensively assembled attack, than Sevilla posses and are riding high in the league.
All of that means the Reds can’t afford to take the return leg lightly – and early mutterings from Klopp indicate that he will not allow that to happen.
“It was good tonight, but I am not interested in being good,” Sky Sports reported that the manager said. “In this competition, it is about going to the next round, and we are not in the next round. Let’s talk about it after the next game.
“We will really have to work there again like hell. It was 3-0 at half-time and nobody was in the dressing room dancing around and celebrating the half-time result,” Klopp concluded.
