Everton forward Richarlison mocks Liverpool fans left stranded for Champions League final
Everton forward Richarlison has continued his war with rivals Liverpool after joining in with the mocking of some fans that were left stranded for the Champions League final.
The Reds are in Paris for a European Cup final against Real Madrid on Saturday [May 28], but Everton fans reportedly got together to prank some supporters trying to make their way to France.
A fake coach company was created and after organising to take some Liverpool fans to France for the final, it never showed up leaving them with no way to get to the final in time.
Some digging on social media found that the person had registered the company in the name of ‘Mr Richard Arlison’, a quirk on the Brazilian winger’s name.
After seeing a tweet that had tagged him in it summarising the events, the 25-year-old was quick to share it to his 712,000 followers for them to all join in with the laughter.
We love you Richy
There are rarely players who come from abroad who really buy into the rivalries and culture of a football club in the same way that Richarlison has done on Merseyside.
He has completely embedded himself in all the nooks and crannies of this rivalry, and Liverpool fans arguably hate him as much as Toffees fans love him.
While the ordeal for Liverpool fans obviously isn’t nice if it means fans will miss out on seeing a huge game live in person, the fact he was brought into it and has reacted is brilliant.
Nobody was harmed and he’s having some fun with his fans, with many of them hopeful that he will still be one of their own by the time the season rolls around in August.
But for now he’s laughing, we’re laughing and reds are crying, which is exactly the way we all want it to be.
