“Give the armband to Emre Can lad” – Liverpool fans react on social media to midfielder’s display against Atletico Madrid
Liverpool suffered a defeat in the final of the Audi Cup on Wednesday evening.
The pre-season clash ended as a 1-1 tie and Atletico Madrid came out on top after a penalty shootout.
The La Liga giants took the lead after 33 minutes following a strike from Bare. However, Firmino levelled the game seven minutes from full-time.
Club captain Jordan Henderson missed his penalty attempt while Atletico scored all five penalties.
Liverpool defeated Hertha Berlin and Bayern Munich on the way to the Audo Cup final.
Germany international Emre Can was included in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line up against Atleti.
The 23-year-old featured in all three Audi Cup games, despite having under 12 months remaining on his contract and being linked with a move to Juventus.
We took a look at how Liverpool supporters reacted to Can’s performance on social media. The former Bayer Leverkusen man received a mixed reception from fans following his performance.

Lallana and Emre Can probably 2 of our stand out performers so far. Klavan was alright but struggled a bit for the goal.

Positives tonight Robertson Danny Ward and Emre Can. Negatives still can't break teams down and everything else

Man of the match tonight for me was Marco Grujic followed by Emre Can and Ryan Kent.

Emre Can brought back fond memories of awful passes and killing promising momentums
