Anfield witnessed a touch of greatness last night — not from Lionel Messi himself, but from Liverpool’s own stars who decided to pay tribute in the most iconic way possible.
**43rd Minute:** Alexander Isak broke the deadlock, and instead of his usual routine, he raised his arms and stood tall in front of the Kop — the trademark Messi celebration. The roar that followed could have shaken the city.
**85th Minute:** Just when the crowd thought the script was complete, Hugo Ekitike delivered the encore. He slotted home Liverpool’s second, then mirrored Messi’s same legendary gesture, sparking wild scenes around the stadium.
For the fans, it wasn’t just about the goals. It was a **statement of ambition, respect, and showmanship**. Liverpool aren’t just scoring — they’re sending messages, reminding the football world that they’re here to dominate and entertain in equal measure.
The Messi spirit was alive and well at Anfield, and the fans loved every heartbeat of it.
