Liverpool fans trolled after claiming ‘you don’t get 60,000 at a charity game anywhere else’ on the SAME DAY ‘over 80,000’ supporters watched Real Madrid legends lose 1-0 to Porto Legends
Liverpool fans have been trolled after claiming ‘you won’t get 60,000 fans at a charity match anywhere else’.
Liverpool Legends defeated Ajax Legends 4-2 in front of a sold-out Anfield in a charity match on Saturday.
Derk Boerrigter and Kiki Musampa gave the Ajax Legends a comfortable lead at halftime, but Liverpool scored four times thanks to goals from Gregory Vignal, Djibril Cisse and Nabil El Zhar and Fernando Torres.
Delighted Reds fans proudly took to social media claiming only their side can attract a big crowd for a charity match.
But earlier in the day, Real Madrid Legends’ match against Porto Legends attracted more than 80,000 supporters to the Bernabeu.

And fans took to social media to blast Liverpool fans’ false claims and mock them.
One wrote: ‘75,000 people turn up for football relief, with actors and musicians pretending to be footballers.’
Another made a comparison with the Sidemen charity match, which attracted more than 60,000 fans at the London Stadium last September.
He said, do the sidemen do more than that every year?
“Isn’t that what they do every year in the community shield?” a third fan pointed out X.
The sold-out crowd at Anfield was raising money for the LFC Foundation, which operates both in the city and internationally.
Liverpool’s website reports this that Legends matches have raised more than £6.4 million in vital funds since 2017, with the Foundation supporting almost 123,000 people last season alone.
This year’s money will be used to support the Foundation’s education programmes, which tackle social issues in Liverpool.
