Liverpool's celebrations took an unexpected twist when blue smoke - the colour of city rivals Everton - appeared among the sea of red as the team bus arrived for their match against Tottenham Hotspur.

There was a carnival atmosphere before kick-off on Sunday when thousands of supporters gathered outside Anfield to greet the team bus.

The team bus arrived at the ground amid a cloud of red smoke as fans let off flares.

But, curiously, blue - the colour of their cross-town rivals Everton - smoke could be also be seen.

The bizarre scene, which puzzled many supporters, has since been explained.

How the Prank Unfolded

According to viral posts on social media, an Everton fan masterminded a prank by purchasing 10,000 blue flares, relabelling them with red stickers, and distributing them to unsuspecting Liverpool fans.

A Historic Night for Liverpool

Liverpool went on to thrash Tottenham 5–1, clinching the Premier League title for the 2024/25 season under new manager Arne Slot.

Goals from Luis Díaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and an own goal by Destiny Udogie secured Liverpool's 20th English league title.

It marks Liverpool's first Premier League triumph in front of fans, after the 2019/20 victory celebrations were held behind closed doors due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Slot's side sealed the title with four games to spare, matching Jürgen Klopp's haul and igniting wild celebrations across the red half of Merseyside - blue flares or not.

Final Thoughts

In true Merseyside fashion, even a cheeky prank couldn't dampen Liverpool's triumphant night.

The unexpected blue smoke will go down as a quirky, light-hearted moment in a season of glory for the Reds.
