Liverpool and Real Madrid are becoming familiar foes, but the Spanish team hasn’t traveled to Merseyside much in its history, so they may not have expected the ‘welcome’ they received.

This is not what our fans normally do, and is also seen as embarrassing by some supporters and rival teams.
A sleep-deprived opponent might give him an advantage on the pitch, but it also seems a bit counter-intuitive to what the fanbase is best known for.
