LIVERPOOL captain Jordan Henderson was spotted having a pop at Loris Karius during his side’s celebrations in Rome on Wednesday night.
Leading 5-2 from the first-leg at Anfield, Roma battled until the end to steal a 4-2 win, but lost 7-6 on aggregate.
The final whistle eventually sounded and Liverpool fans and players alike erupted into wild celebrations.
But during the scenes of jubilation, skipper Henderson is seen grabbing goalkeeper Karius and shouting at him in an animated fashion.
Many fans believe the England man was giving his No1 a dressing down for his role in Roma’s penalty, while others claim it was over a missed catch.
But one thing supporters do seem to agree on, is that Henderson is the perfect captain for focusing on where the team can improve, rather than just the victory.
One fan claimed: “Highlight of match – LFC players celebrating with fans and Henderson is ripping into Karius after the match for not coming and claiming a ball in the 2nd half.”
Another added: “We’re in the CL final and Henderson is moaning at Karius to come and catch the ball, whilst everyone else is celebrating ahaha. #MyCaptain”

One Twitter user said: “During the players celebrating it was good to see Henderson giving Karius a b******ing for not coming and catching the ball that led to Klavan giving away the penalty, showed a bit of leadership I haven’t seen before.”
While a further fan added: “Liverpool players celebrating after the game and Jordan Henderson is still on at Karius for not coming for the ball for Unders chance, is exactly why he’s the captain.

“Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but he’s a leader in that group. Make no mistake.”
Another claimed: “Karius happily enjoying the moment here with the fans until Jordan Henderson cold-bloods him from behind and gives him an absolute earbashing.”
