Former England international Gary Lineker has responded to criticism from Liverpool fans for his overzealous celebrations during their game against Barcelona.
A video posted to social media showed Lineker and Rio Ferdinand celebrating Lionel Messi‘s free kick that sealed a 3-0 win for Barca in the first leg.
Many fans did not realize that Lineker is a former Barcelona player, who has never hidden his admiration for the club and Messi.
He took to Twitter and had the following to say about the situation: “Seem to have upset a few @LFC fans by celebrating greatness last night.
“Admittedly it was a bit cringe, but as a former player who loves @FCBarcelona I make no apologies for dancing to the diminutive Dios.”
