Safe to say, the fans get an A+ for creativity and enthusiasm.

Sung to the tune of Dirty Old Town by The Pogues, guitarist Jamie Webster had fans singing at the top of their lungs.

Although the game didn't go Jurgen Klopp’s way, we have to give credit to the fans for keeping up their spirits.

Van Dijk wasn't happy with his performance last night and admitted he has to learn from his mistakes.

This comes after the Holland defender's half-clearance led to Paris St Germain’s crucial opening goal to pave the way for the hosts’ 2-1 victory and leave Jurgen Klopp’s side facing a must-win encounter at home to Napoli if they are to progress to the knockout stage.
