‘Liverpool were naive’ – how social media reacted to Reds’ defeat to Barcelona

It was a stormy night for Liverpool after they crumbled 3-0 to Barcelona in their first leg semi-final clash at Camp Nou.

Former Reds striker Luis Suarez set the ball rolling before Lionel Messi’s brace ensured Mohamed Salah and his teammates left Spain empty-handed.

As expected, football fans took to social media to share their thoughts on where Liverpool got things wrong.

Liverpool were naive. Played really well. Somehow managed not to score.
