Twitter trolls Liverpool after Reds lose Europa League final to Sevilla

Twitter mercilessly trolled Liverpool last night, after the Reds fell to a 3-1 loss against Sevilla in the UEFA Europa League Final. The Merseyside club took the lead in the first half through a wondergoal from Daniel Sturridge, but Sevilla hit back immediately in the second half through Kevin Gameiro, before a brace from captain Coke gave Sevilla their third consecutive Europa League trophy.

The grip of La Liga clubs on the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League can be seen from the tweets below:

The last time a Spanish team lost an European final against a non-spanish team was 15 years ago:Valencia vs Bayern, by penalty shoot-out.

It was a game of two halves, with Liverpool absolutely dominating the first, but completely disappearing for the second:

Chief among the culprits for Liverpool was former Sevilla left-back, Alberto Moreno, who put in one of the worst individual performances of the season against his former side:

Sevilla, who were magnificent, had their share of praise:

Unai Emery, by the way, would be more than willing to speak to Everton. Probably wouldn't need long to win over the fans.
