Liverpool suffered a 3-1 defeat against Sevilla in the Europa League final yesterday despite taking a first-half lead.

Emre Can started his first European competition final but it all ended in tears – literally – for the young midfielder.

Can also showed a lot of emotion after the came bursting into tears after the final whistle. The 22-year-old may not have had his best game but it was his first European competition final and it definitely meant a lot to him as is evident from the picture.
