A clip shared by @LFC on X showing players arriving at the AXA Training Centre has caught the attention of supporters, not just for who was involved, but for what could be heard in the background.
During one moment in the video, the song We Built This City by Starship can clearly be heard playing, something that hasn’t gone unnoticed given the context from Sunday’s Merseyside derby.
Liverpool appear to reference Everton tifo
The choice of song feels particularly pointed when you consider that Everton supporters unveiled a tifo with the slogan ‘we built this city’ ahead of the game.
That message was tied to the historical roots of both clubs, with the Toffees having originally played at Anfield before moving to Goodison Park and later building their new stadium.
There was even a moment in the match where Iliman Ndiaye appeared to mouth the same phrase in celebration, only for his goal to be ruled out for offside shortly after.
