Liverpool hero John Aldridge has hit out at rival fans after last week’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid.
Aldridge wrote for the Sunday World: “Real Madrid have always been a pretty arrogant club that believes the world revolves around them, but I give their head coach Carlo Ancelotti credit for executing a perfect game plan and winning the biggest trophy of them all once again.
“If you beat Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in one competition, you deserve to win it, so well done to them.
“Inevitably, I had Manchester United and even some Everton fans tweeting abuse in my direction after the game and in the days since, but let’s apply some perspective here.
“United have put in their worst season in living memory and Everton had a pitch invasion and celebrations like that had won three Champions League finals just for staying in the Premier League.
“Meanwhile, this was the campaign when Liverpool became the first English team to take their trophy wins past the 50 mark, with Manchester City needing another £5 billion of transfer spending and at least a decade to get near that total.
“So you can laugh at Liverpool’s expense lads, but it might be worth worrying about the mess your own clubs are in before focusing on a team who finished a million miles behind this season.”
