Gary Lineker has sent a message to Liverpool fans after a video of his celebrations following Lionel Messi's pinpoint free-kick went viral.
The BT Sport host wildly celebrated with Rio Ferdinand after the Barca talisman scored his 600th goal for the Catalan giants.
Many Liverpool fans felt it was unprofessional behaviour from the former England players.
And the ex-Everton and Leicester City striker took to social media to respond.
Lineker wrote: "Seem to have upset a few LFC fans by celebrating greatness last night.

Seem to have upset a few @LFC fans by celebrating greatness last night. Admittedly it was a bit cringe, but as a former player who loves @FCBarcelona I make no apologies for dancing to the diminutive Dios.
