"Big hand to that fan, objectively hilarious," noted a third viewer.
"Monsieur Megaphone is guaranteed to be hailed a patron saint for PSG," were the words of a fourth fan.
A fifth viewer remarked: "That PSG away end last night was something else.
"Didn’t stop from the first kick to the last, had Hakimi actively celebrating when he won the toss to have the penalties in front of them and saw an ultra with a megaphone play a blinder in the shoot-out."
And even Paddy Power got in on the act, with the bookies saying: "PSG should give that guy with the megaphone a statue outside the Parc des Princes."
Liverpool took a 1-0 lead into the match but saw their advantage disappear after just 12 minutes when Ousmane Dembele scored for PSG.
