This was only a matter of time…

Everton forward Richarlison mocked Merseyside rivals Liverpool after the Reds lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Paris on Saturday night.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side secured a 1-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s men, with Vinícius Júnior’s second half goal enough to see Madrid collect their 14th Champions League crown.

After the match, Toffees attacker Richarlison took to social media to troll Liverpool about their crushing defeat in Paris, photoshopping himself driving a coach. It appeared to be a dig at the Reds fans who were left stranded in Merseyside before the final.

The Brazilian forward also retweeted a post which claimed some Everton fans had tricked the Reds supporters into thinking a coach would be arriving to pick them up, only for it to be fake all along. However, it remains to be seen if this is true or not, with many people speculating that it is in fact false.

The Toffees man has been active on social media in recent weeks, having a pop at Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher and trolling the Reds about their Premier League title failure.

“@Carra23 wash your mouth before you talk about me and Everton and I don’t respect you,” Richarlison tweeted, followed by the smiling poo emoji.

The 25-year-old also shared a GIF of Thierry Henry when Klopp’s men missed out on the Premier League on the final day of the league campaign.

Former Manchester United defender and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville also poked fun at Liverpool, tweeting: “It’s really normal to be happy tonight if you’re a United fan! I’m f@@@@@g ecstatic!”

Liverpool end the season having won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and missing out on Premier League and Champions League glory.
