Liverpool fans are furious with Darwin Nunez in the wake of their Champions League exit to PSG last night - with a number of them wanting the Uruguay international sold.
The Reds had gone into the game hoping to make the quarter-finals of the competition after a 1-0 victory at the Parc des Princes last week.
However, they ultimately crashed out on penalties after Ousmane Dembele's early goal had forced the tie to go the distance.
Liverpool's hopes of winning a Premier League and Champions League double are now over, with Nunez and Curtis Jones both missing in the shootout.

While Jones has enjoyed a terrific season so far, however, the same can't be said for his Reds team-mate.
Nunez has long struggled for consistency, with the former Benfica star netting just seven goals across 39 matches across all competitions.
And Liverpool fans on social media have now called on the club to offload the 25-year-old when the transfer window reopens at the end of the campaign.
One supporter joked: "I'm not supporting this club until Darwin Nunez leaves. Until this guy is sold, I declare myself a neutral football fan. He. Is. The. Worst. Ever."

A second fumed: "Liverpool fans, we need to come together as a fanbase and SELL DARWIN NUNEZ!!!!"
Another stated: "We need to sell Nunez in the summer."
A fourth raged: "Sell Nunez in the summer and get an actual goal scorer in."
And a fifth hit out by saying: "Now, there is no excuse not to sell Nunez. Hopefully, this season is his last in a Liverpool shirt."

Liverpool have undeniably done well this season, especially with the club closing in on a first Premier League title since 2020.
But it's PSG who could now end up becoming European champions come the end of the season, with Luis Enrique's men impressive across both legs of the tie.
Meanwhile, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has fronted up after the defeat and admitted it's a tough one for his side to take.
He told Amazon Prime: "It was a very intense great game of football, I think to be part of it as well.
