Dublin driver caught red-handed watching legendary Liverpool Champion's League win over Barcelona while at the wheel

It was a wild night for fans of football, and not only for those who support Liverpool.

In one of the greatest comebacks in Champion League history (yes, up there with the 2005 final) Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0 to overcome a 3-0 aggregate and make it to the final in Madrid.

But one driver, who just couldn't miss out on the live result as they were on the road, was caught red-handed by gardai.

They were watching the nail-biting action as it happened on their mobile phone.

Over 300 motorists tested and four arrested in major bank holiday operation  

Now they will be issued with a fixed charge penalty notice - and a really rubbish finish to the day if they're a Barcelona fan.

Gardai said: "Champions League update....Motorist detected by DMR North Roads Policing Unit watching match on mobile phone while driving! Fcpn to be issued."

They should have just watched the highlights afterward!
