Liverpool supporters are making a mockery of themselves. They've tried to disrupt Barcelona preparation for the return leg of the Champions League semi-final by setting off fireworks near Barca hotel in the middle of the night.

Around 4 AM in the morning on Tuesday loud explosion noises were heard near the Hilton hotel where Barcelona have stopped in Liverpool.


Later a clip has appeared on social media showing fireworks being set off towards the hotel with a man out of the picture who apparently was responsible for the act shouting: 'Wake up call for Mr Messi!"

This wasn't the only 'joke' by Liverpool fans ahead fo the clash. Late on Monday, a handful of Liverpool fans claimed that they saw Barcelona bus driving around the city.

This banter went quite far as Liverpool police felt obliged to comment on the situation saying that they had not received any reports regarding the 'stolen' vehicle when contacted at 11:30 pm. There are no photos of the alleged incident either.

Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-0 at Camp Nou last week. Luis Suarez's goal and Lionel Messi's brace brought Barca the win over the Reds in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
