Gerrard's high five: Liverpool captain revels in arch-rivals Wembley misery



High five: Gerrard salutes Liverpool's five European Cup wins

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard showed there was no love lost with arch-rivals Manchester United after he was pictured celebrating their 3-1 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League final.

Photos of Gerrard, who celebrated his 31st birthday on Monday, shows the England midfielder revelling in the Red Devils slump whilst out with his close pals at the weekend.

The Anfield skipper, together with his best mate Paul McGrattan and boxer Paul Smith Jnr, were seen reminding the Old Trafford faithful of Liverpool's five European Cup wins – two more than their collection of three.

McGrattan posted on social networking site Twitter on Saturday night: 'Stevie G reminding the world “IN ISTANBUL WE WON 5 TIMES”!! Liverpool FC The Greatest Club in World!’'

Gerrard’s pal McGrattan then went one further by goading former Reds favourite and now United striker Michael Owen, a substitute at Wembley, adding: 'Message from the captain to Michael Owen. If you can’t beat them you should of joined....us! 5 TIMES! You 0 times!’’
