Liverpool suffered a humiliating, error-riddled defeat against Real Madrid, then promptly got mocked by the star player of its biggest rival

• Brazil forward Vinicius Jr. scored twice as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in the Champions League.
• Liverpool's defeat was characterized by a string of embarassing mistakes.
• After the game, the Reds were mocked by Everton's Brazilian forward Richarlison.

Everton forward Richarlison mocked Liverpool on social media after his compatriot Vinicius Jr. helped Real Madrid sink the Reds in the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday.

Vinicius scored twice as Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 to put Jurgen Klopp's side on the brink of elimination.

The Brazilian forward, 20, opened the scoring on the night in the 27th minute when he expertly controlled Toni Kroos' long ranged pass and slid the ball under Liverpool keeper Alisson.

Midfielder Marco Asensio made it 2-0 shortly after by capitalizing on an error from Trent Alexander-Arnold, before Mohamed Salah pulled one back for Liverpool right after half-time.

Vinicius then added his second and Madrid's third when he stroked home Luka Modric's pass from the edge of the box.

Although Liverpool secured an all-important away goal, the two goal deficit it takes into the tie's second leg looks all but insurmountable given its current form.

Should it be eliminated from the Champions League, the side will face a trophyless season.

After the game, Richarlison, who plays alongside Vinicius for Brazil, made it clear how he felt about the result, posting an old photo on Instagram of him posing with his countryman, alongside the eyes emoji.

Richarlison is already in the bad books of Liverpool fans this season.

The 23-year-old was sent off in the final moments of Everton's 2-2 draw with Liverpool in October for a horrific tackle on Reds midfielder Thiago Alcantara, which saw the Spaniard sidelined for 17 games.

The Brazilian claimed he tried to apologize for the challenge, both in person and on social media, but was ignored.

"The last game I made that challenge on Thiago and got sent off. My goodness," he said in a live YouTube video, per Sports Witness.

"Then I went on Instagram to apologize and such. He only saw it. I said, 'I'm going to delete this message too, since he doesn't want to reply.' Then I went there and deleted it. He didn't answer, no.

"Then there was the derby now, at their home, he didn't look at my face, I didn't look at him, either. The game goes on. He ignored the pigeon."

"Pigeon" is Richarlison's nickname from Brazil.

In the game in which he claimed to have tried to apologize to Thiago, Richarlison scored in just the third minute as Carlo Ancelotti's side emerged as 2-0 victors, securing its first win at Anfield in over two decades.

Liverpool faces Real Madrid in the second-leg of its Champions League quarterfinal tie on April 14.
