Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has issued a brilliant response to Benfica fans after they threw flagpoles and lighters towards him at the end of their Champions League meeting. When asked about fans throwing objects,
Andy Robertson said: ” They weren’t best pleased were they! I had quite a few lighters thrown at me, so maybe it’ll help them stop smoking and take the positives! But, we’ve seen it a lot, people getting hit and things like that, it was quite close to me but none hit me. I know when it’s late in the game and you get frustrated but, you know you shouldn’t throw stuff onto the pitch and try to hurt people. Try to move on, I was just trying to take the corner and get out of there as quick as possible, luckily it was right at the end of the game.”
Liverpool face a difficult test against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday as the title arguably hinges on the result. They’ll then welcome Benfica to Anfield a few days later in a bid to book themselves a spot in the semi-finals of the Champions League against either Bayern Munich or Villarreal.
