Dominik Szoboszlai had the last laugh after Arda Güler was spotted shushing the Hungary captain during Turkey’s 3-0 win.
The victory ensured the Real Madrid man’s promotion – with the No.8 having scored himself in the clash – into the UEFA Nations League A with Vincenzo Montella’s men.
Goals also came from Halkan Calhanoglu (penalty) and Abdulkerim Bardakcıbaris.
The Merseysiders will return to Premier League action Wednesday April 2 for the 2024/25 season’s Merseyside derby clash with Everton.

Fabrizio Romano and Hungarian sports outlet Nemzeti Sport Online caught the in-game moment on socials.
Güler can be clearly seen shushing the Liverpool midfielder during a minor altercation between the pair on international duty.
It was no skin off Szoboszlai’s nose, however, with the former RB Leipzig man jumping on his personal Instagram account to get the last word in.
Our No.8 posted ‘1088’ in the comments of Nemzeti Sports Online’s post relaying the update in question – in direct reference to the Los Blancos star’s tally of minutes this term.
