The brother of Manchester United striker Alejandro Garnacho trolled Jamie Carragher and Liverpool after their 3-0 defeat to Atalanta.
Jurgen Klopp’s men suffered a shock defeat to the Italian team at Anfield in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-finals.
A double from Gianluca Scamacca and a late goal from Mario Pasalic now mean Liverpool have everything to do in the second leg in Italy.
Garnacho’s brother Roberto made the most of the Reds’ misery with a tweet aimed at both the club and Carragher.
He wrote to the former defender in X: “Your team is absolutely shit.”

Carragher himself was unimpressed with Liverpool’s performance that night, although he did not respond to Roberto’s message.
“Bad result and performance from Liverpool, the only consolation for having been beaten so badly is that Jurgen should play a full second series in the second leg and go all out for the league.” he wrote in X.
Scamacca broke through in the 38th minute, after goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, a substitute for the injured Alisson, let his shot slip.
The hosts then conspired to squander several golden opportunities – Darwin Nunez missed twice and Harvey Elliott hit the woodwork – and then had to pay.
Taking advantage of the lack of marking, Scamacca doubled Atalanta’s lead with a good shot before Pasalic took advantage of a rebound to score seven minutes from time.

The latest defeat comes after Liverpool’s title hopes took a hit following their 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Klopp’s men will hope to return to winning ways when they take on Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday.
