You can’t really blame Liverpool fans for getting carried away after their 3-0 victory over Manchester City in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final.City are regarded as the best side in Europe right now, sitting 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League with the prospect of being crowned champions this weekend.But Jurgen Klopp’s side may well have ended the tie after just 90 minutes thanks to an exhilarating first half-hour at Anfield.And the Liverpool fans inside the stadium were absolutely loving it.Their new ‘Allez, Allez, Allez’ song was being belted out throughout the 90 minutes as they celebrated taking one giant step towards the last-four of the competition.However, there was one man looking to bring Kopites down a peg or two on Thursday morning.That man was Joey Barton.

JOEY BARTON POSTED SOME SALTY TWEETS

Barton, who himself was born on Merseyside, clearly didn’t enjoy seeing happy Liverpool on his Twitter timeline and sent four tweets to put them in their place.

He suggested that the tie was far from over and that he hopes the return of Sergio Aguero could have a big impact at the Etihad.

Yeah, it seems Barton really isn’t a big fan of Liverpool.

To be fair, he did used to play for Man City so you can’t really blame him for wanting Pep Guardiola’s side to triumph.

But why is he so bitter about it?

Even Gary Neville got involved.

While Barton was trying to bring the Liverpool fans off cloud nine, Klopp will be trying to do something similar with his players.

After the match, he explained that he certainly won’t be celebrating passage to the semi-final of the Champions League before next week.

"You must celebrate a party when the party starts. Not four weeks before,” Klopp said.

“I am too long in the business. I know it is not decided.

Sure, 3-0 is better than 1-0, better than 2-0. It is better than 3-1.

But it’s only half-time. No one was in the dressing room dancing around after the half-time result.”
