Liverpool became the subject of online trolls after suffering an embarrassing defeat against Atalanta in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal clash on Thursday evening.
Former West Ham United forward Gianluca Scamacca scored on either side of half-time before ex-Chelsea player Mario Pasalic added a late third goal to condemn the Reds to a three-nil defeat.
The loss marked Liverpool's first setback of the season across all competitions at Anfield.
For context, it was their maiden defeat at their fabled fortress in 34 games, per Squawka, with their last defeat being a 5-2 mauling by Real Madrid in February 2023.
This leaves the Reds' Europa League ambitions in serious jeopardy in Jurgen Klopp's final season as coach of the Merseyside outfit, as noted by Eurosport.
Meaning their hopes of winning the treble after missing out on the quadruple following a loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup are slowly fading away.
Fans savagely mock Liverpool
After their chastening loss, opposing fans, who appeared to enjoy Liverpool's downfall, took to social media to troll them.
