Rooney’s Anfield Review Gets a Shearer Spin…
In a scenario as juicy as a Sunday roast, Alan Shearer has tossed Wayne Rooney’s claims straight into the trash bin. Rooney dared to whisper that the Anfield vibe, during Liverpool’s Champions League tumble against PSG, was more “meh” than “wow”. In his maiden voyage to the stadium, he expected a rock concert but got a teapot festival instead.
Shearer, never one to keep his thoughts bottled up, spiced things up on the Rest Is Football podcast, extolling the game as if he’d just tasted the world’s best pie. “The atmosphere was buzzing! European nights at Anfield are cheek-clenchingly good!” he chuckled. The only hiccup was Liverpool’s failure to plant the ball in the back of the net in the first 15 minutes, letting PSG sneak in a cheeky break.
Even Arne Slot, with a grin wider than the Mersey, labeled it “the best game he was ever part of.” Slot then quickly realized his squad wasn’t mind-reading wizards in overtime as PSG got a bit too good. While some might say the crowd was mellow, Liverpool.com claims it was anything but. Cheers to PSG, both cool and collected when it mattered the most, snatching the win fair and square.
