Barcelona fans have been left fuming after Barca’s Instagram account used Liverpool’s iconic “You will never walk alone” motto as a caption.
On Wednesday (March 22), the Blaugrana posted an image of Marc-Andre ter Stegen on Instagram. In the image, the German goalkeeper was seen dribbling out of the box, with no other teammate in sight.
The caption to the post read:
“You will never walk alone ❤️”
The phrase is famously associated with Premier League giants Liverpool, and Barca fans were not impressed to see the words written on their team’s social media handle.
One fan, @maitreyeah23, mocked the admin, saying they forgot to switch accounts.
“Admin forgot to switch accounts 💀😭”
Another was angered by the caption and did not find it funny, writing:
“Not funny”
Another angry fan wrote:
"delete liverpool caption we are barca"
One more fan chimed in:
"Barca >> Livarpool"
Liverpool fans, meanwhile, had a field day, with many reminding Cules about the damning 4-3 aggregate defeat they endured in the 2018-19 Champions League semifinals.
One wrote:
"4-3 on aggregate 😂"
Another said:
“Corner take quickly Liverpool 4 - 0 Barcelona”
A Barcelona fan admitted that the caption reminded him of the 4-0 semifinal second leg defeat at Anfield, writing:
“Bro stop using Liverpool captions, it just reminds me of that 4-0 away”
Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas picks Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen over Thibaut Courtois
Selecting the best keeper in La Liga this season, Real Madrid icon Iker Casillas picked Marc-Andre ter Stegen over Thibaut Courtois. The former goalkeeper claimed that the Ter Stegen is having a better season than Courtois.
Casillas also praised league leaders Barcelona’s defensive discipline this season and lauded Ter Stegen for making crucial saves whenever required, telling Movistar+ on TikTok:
“This year, Barca have a very good defensive base and the few chances they do concede are saved by Ter Stegen. They have been winning many games 1-0, and if it wasn’t for him, they would have ended in a draw.”
When asked to pick between Courtois and Ter Stegen, Casillas replied:
“He (Ter Stegen) is playing better right now.”
Ter Stegen has only conceded nine goals in 26 La Liga games this season, keeping a staggering 19 clean sheets. Courtois, meanwhile, has conceded 18 goals in 20 games, managing only six clean sheets.
