Benjamin Mendy sparks Twitter row as he claims Marseille stadium has better atmosphere than Anfield just hours after Liverpool hammering

Benjamin Mendy caused uproar on Twitter on Wednesday night as he criticised Anfield's atmosphere just hours after Manchester City were thrashed at Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane scored the three goals to secure the advantage heading into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

It was a first visit to Anfield for Mendy, who has spent much of his debut season at City recovering from a cruciate ligament injury suffered in September, but the Frenchman appeared less than impressed by the stadium's atmosphere.

'Now I see Anfield for my first time but the Velodrome are the best atmosphere,' Mendy wrote on Twitter, tagging former club Marseille's official account.
