# Liverpool: Fans call out ’embarrassing and shameful’ Marcos Llorente

**[According to recent upload on his Instagram page via the Metro,](https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/04/atletico-madrid-star-names-dog-anfield-brace-knock-liverpool-champions-league-12507411/) Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Llorente has adopted a dog and named it ‘Anfield’ after his side’s success at the Liverpool stadium.**

The Reds famously [bowed out of the Champions League early](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51800660) this season after being handed a shock defeat at their Merseyside ground in March. Liverpool trailed after a single goal at the Wanda gave Atletico the upper hand going into the second-leg fixture, but heroics from Georginio Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino looked to have secured the comeback.

Of course, Jurgen Klopp’s side were sent tumbling out of the competition following a costly Adrian blunder in goal. Llorente was the star of the night, scoring two goals to send his team into the quarter-finals on a 4-2 aggregate score.

The Spaniard is still celebrating his win, naming his dog after the stadium that played a huge part in Atletico’s European progression.

Liverpool fans are rolling their eyes at this update, with one supporter branding Llorente ’embarrassing and shameful’.

> Messi never named his dog Old Trafford. Embarrassing and shameful
