Reds fans make same joke as Lucas Leiva arrives in Paris to cheer on LFC

Liverpool FC fans ALL made a certain joke after Lucas Leiva shared snaps of his arrival in Paris on Saturday.

The Brazilian star played for LFC for a decade and holds the titles of making the second-most tackles in Premier League history. He left the club for Lazio in 2017.

The former Reds star is probably best known for a short and simple catchphrase. Initially used to tease Jordan Henderson, the videos went viral for the star's understated comic genius.

Leiva's former team will take on Real Madrid at the Stade de France, just north of the city, this evening. He arrived in the city with his son Pedro this morning.

The midfielder shared a series of photos of him and Pedro in Paris on Twitter. The photos show the two outside the Eiffel Tower and Arc De Triomphe.

Reds fans were loving the images, with many making a joke involving his famous catchphrase. Steff Smith said: "LUCKYYYYYY", while Cllr Jason Walsh said: "Luckyyyyy!".

Others praised Lucas for his support. Cova Matosio said: "Once a red, always a red", while Shaun Houghton said: "Scouser on tour". Stephen O'Brien said: "Yes Lucas lad!"
