da pinnacle： Liverpool are not the only club writing headlines in world football at the moment.
da fazobetai： The Italian Super Cup took place on Sunday afternoon in a fixture that saw Juventus go head-to-head with Lazio in Saudi Arabia.
Simone Inzaghi vs Maurizio Sarri. Behemoth vs pretender.
Lazio were the triumphant side as they recorded a 3-1 victory over the Old Lady for the second time this month.
Lucas Leiva and Luis Alberto, two players who used to ply their trade in the red of Liverpool, were both on the winning team.
Lucas, 32, started the game in central midfield and, having been booked in the first half, was withdrawn in the 64th minute. Liverpool fans will know better than anyone that Inzaghi’s decision was a smart one under the circumstances.
And the Brazilian midfielder fulfilled the modern day obligation to post about the victory on social media in the aftermath of proceedings, prompting plenty of Liverpool fans to congratulate a former Anfield hero.
The reaction did not stop there though as the extent of the Lucas fan club became apparent on social media.
A couple of fans even suggested that he should return to the club in some capacity, with suggestions of a coaching or brand ambassador role put forward by one.
Finally, it seems that others have already determined his legacy.
No clues: Can you name the season these iconic Liverpool images belong to?
After playing 346 times for Liverpool you’d expect a decent level of appreciation from supporters, and these three fans have given him the most prestigious label of all by describing him as a legend.
That his latest achievement in Italy arrived on the same weekend as Liverpool’s Club World Cup triumph undoubtedly served to sweeten the reaction from fans of his former club.
