Iker Casillas gets salty on social media after Porto’s defeat to Liverpool

Iker Casillas has been accused of showing a lack of class after Porto fell to a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday night.

The Champions League quarter-final first leg at Anfield was not short of talking points as VAR again took centre-stage. Some felt that Porto ought to have been awarded a penalty when a defensive mix-up between Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold saw him accidentally handle the ball in the box while most believe Mohamed Salah was lucky to stay on the pitch for an awfully-timed late challenge on Danilo Pereira. With everything still to play for in the return leg, Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas appeared to take a veiled dig at the refereeing decisions that went against his side in Liverpool. https://twitter.com/IkerCasillas/status/1115744925881176065 Casillas tweeted out photographs of the two incidents involving Alexander-Arnold and Salah before assuring supporters that the team would "fight to make it through to the semi-finals" when Porto host the Reds at the Estádio do Dragão next week. Liverpool fans on social media didn't take kindly to Casillas' complaints, however, and accused him of being a bad loser.

After the respect we showed you, you show us none. Lost your class!!

One second this man is full of class... the next he oozes bitterness. Chin up old man, hopefully you'll get a testimonial at Porto unlike Madrid ?

"It was a good game, a good game, a controlled game in a lot of moments. We deserved the win, 100 per cent, we scored two wonderful goals and we were - in a lot of situations - really dangerous, on the right side especially with Mo, Hendo and Trent, the crosses and the passes. Overall, a really good performance," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said of the victory. "They had a bit too many set-pieces because they are really good in that and you don’t want to give them away, but that’s how it is - they go for it as well and we defended them well. The problem was a little bit the second half, we gave one or two counter-attacks away and then we had to control it a bit more. We lost the direction in the play a bit, we didn’t play that clear anymore. We were still around in the box and all that stuff, that was good, but then for defending the counter-attacks we had to work really hard and it costs you then a little bit, you lose a bit of rhythm. That’s what happened. "I would have loved it if Sadio’s goal would have counted because it was a brilliant situation, a brilliant situation. All good, 2-0, the game is still on, we have to go there, we have to fight. Porto will try everything to strike back – and that will be a really tough game again, but that’s how it should be in the quarter-finals. We will be ready."
