PETER SCHMEICHEL got his own back at Jamie Carragher ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid.
The Reds went into the game with a three-goal deficit following their 5-2 thrashing at Anfield in the first leg.
However, last week Carragher led the banter brigade against the Manchester United legend following Liverpool’s historic 7-0 win over their rivals.
In doing so, the ex-defender was seen drinking a can of 7UP and repeatedly used the word seven during his conversation with Schmeichel.
Fast forward a week, and it was Schmeichel’s turn to do the trolling.
To start with, Schmeichel referenced Jurgen Klopp’s belief of a one per cent chance of progressing into the next round.

Schmeichel continued: “If Real Madrid win it will be the seventh time that they have beat Liverpool.
“Of course, the sixth time was that seven-goal thriller at Anfield.”
Following his analysis, the panellists clapped Schmeichel, with the former goalkeeper unable to stop himself from smirking.
