Liverpool fans were bemused by a chant sang by Manchester City supporters during club legend Vincent Kompany's testimonial.
The Belgium defender was honoured with the match at the Etihad on Wednesday after serving 11 years at the club.
Reds' fans reacted on social media as City supporters reportedly sang about Steven Gerrard 's slip against Chelsea during the 2013/14 title race - which eventually saw the Manchester club crowned champions - within five minutes of kick off.
Many supporters were shocked City fans were singing about the Kop legend on a night which served to honour their former captain who led them to four top flight titles.
There's been some really bad ones, but I honestly reckon City fans singing 'Steve Gerrard, Gerrard, he gave it to Demba Ba' during Vincent Kompany's testimonial has to be one of their most embarrassing moments of the past decade.

City fans five minutes into his testimonial: “Let’s sing about Steven Gerrard”
Pitch full of United players who literally ruined some of their childhoods footballwise and they’re singing about us, gargantuan.

All that and there's 6 ex-Utd players on the field too.

You mean the same Steven Gerrard that has appeared in more European finals and lifted more European trophies than that club has in their entire history?

What an utterly bizarre fan base.
In fairness Kompany deserves better ... he was a brilliant defender

City fans are a joke
Liverpool midfielder James Milner was on the bench for the legends as Man City legends drew 2-2 with a Premier League legends team which included Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher.
Former Liverpool forward Robbie Keane scored, as did Robin van Persie, Martin Petrov and Benjani. The likes of Mario Balotelli, Craig Bellamy and Didi Hamann were all involved in the game.
The match was in aid of Tackle4MCR, a charity set up by Kompany to help tackle homelessness in Greater Manchester.
