Liverpool have won the Champions League five times, though they don’t like to talk about it often
Whether you are aware of it or not though, Liverpool’s five Champions Leagues are an indisputable fact. Another thing which is an indisputable fact is that Harry Wilson scored an absolute peach of a goal against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
The on-loan Liverpool player was playing for Frank Lampard’s Derby County side as they drew in normal time with Manchester United at Old Trafford, and Wilson’s stunning free-kick was the equaliser that clawed the game back for the Rams.
Everyone noticed the goal – its bending, Ronaldo-like trajectory made it impossible not to – but what a lot of people didn’t notice was Wilson’s celebration.
Running past the home crowd to celebrate the stunner, the Wrexham-native – clearly delighted to score against his parent club’s bitter rivals – raised five of his fingers, a celebration which many believe was a not so subtle hint to the Reds’ five European Cup titles.
