French Club Takes a Brutal Dig at Liverpool Following Carabao Cup Loss and Champions League Exit
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) couldn’t resist taking a cheeky jab at Liverpool after the Reds endured a week to forget, culminating in a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. The French giants, who had already knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League just days earlier, seized the opportunity to troll their English rivals on social media.
The drama began last Tuesday when PSG edged past Liverpool in a tense Champions League round of 16 clash at Anfield. Ousmane Dembélé’s solitary goal forced the tie into a penalty shootout, where Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones missed crucial spot-kicks, handing PSG a 4-1 victory. The defeat left Liverpool reeling, and their woes only deepened over the weekend.
During the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, a Liverpool fan was spotted in the crowd wearing a PSG hat—a moment that quickly went viral. PSG’s official English social media account didn’t miss the chance to capitalize on the situation, replying to the viral post with a brutal dig: “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” accompanied by a smirking emoji.
The comment sparked a wave of reactions from fans, with one user calling it “major,” while another praised the PSG admin for “cooking so hard.” A third fan simply described the post as “RUTHLESS,” and others applauded the social media team for not holding back.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot reflected on his team’s disappointing week, acknowledging the challenges they faced. “It took us seven, eight, or nine months to lose twice in a row, and that happened against two strong teams,” he said. “Newcastle is a very good team, and PSG is one of the best in Europe at the moment. If you can beat us in that style of play, you’re probably among the elite.”
Despite the setbacks, Slot remained optimistic, pointing to Liverpool’s 12-point lead in the Premier League with nine games remaining. “We started the week well by beating Southampton, and we’re still in a strong position,” he added. “Even Liverpool can lose football games—it happens.”
As Liverpool regroup and refocus on their Premier League title charge, PSG’s social media jab serves as a reminder of the fine margins in football—and the ruthless banter that comes with it.
