It looks like not everybody agrees with El-Hadji Diouf.

The former Liverpool forward made some extraordinary claims about Anfield legend Steven Gerrard earlier today, insisting that it was ‘common knowledge’ that Gerrard ‘has never liked black people’.

But another ex-Red has jumped to Stevie G’s defence, with Ryan Babel saying Diouf had ‘got it wrong’.

Dutch winger Babel was asked about the Senegal man’s rant on Twitter:

Babel is not the only one to express surprise at Diouf’s claims, with former Ireland and Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer reacting with shock.
