Liverpool fans set off blue flares outside Anfield before their match against Tottenham, sparking curiosity. Initially, the blue smoke, traditionally associated with their cross-town rivals Everton, confused onlookers. However, it was later revealed that some fans had been tricked into purchasing blue flares. A Liverpool fan shared on social media that his friend bought 10,000 blue flares and spent weeks switching the labels to red ones, with the goal of selling them for the big match. This light-hearted mix-up added to the carnival atmosphere as Liverpool celebrated their 20th league title with a 5-1 victory over Spurs, marking a dominant achievement in Arne Slot’s debut season.
