Liverpool midfielder, Jordan Henderson, has revealed that no-one knew about Mario Balotelli swapping shirts at half-time.
The Reds striker was seen swapping with Real Madrid defender, Pepe, despite the game only reaching half-time, and the scoreline being 3-0 to the Spanish side.
Social media exploded after watching Balotelli embrace the opposition despite the embarrassing scoreline, and his actions angered both fans and the manager, Brendan Rodgers, who revealed after the game their plans to deal with the striker.
It’s a similar situation to that of Andre Santos at Arsenal when he visibly swapped shirts with Robin Van Persie at Old Trafford whilst walking off for half-time.
After the game, Liverpool’s vice-captain said this on the matter: “It hasn’t been discussed in the dressing room.
“I don’t think anyone knew he had even done it. It’s certainly the first I’ve heard of it.”
