Former Liverpool midfielder takes aim at Jason Cundy after Villarreal 'disgrace' comments

Former Liverpool midfielder Pedro Chirivella has taken aim at Jason Cundy after he branded Villarreal 'a disgrace to the Champions League'.

Cundy was scathing on talkSPORT about the performance of the Spanish side in their 2-0 defeat at Liverpool on Wednesday night. An own goal from Pervis Estupinan and a Sadio Mane strike two minutes later secured the Reds a semi-final first-leg victory.

Villarreal struggled to contain their Premier League opponents throughout the 90 minutes with Alisson Becker remaining largely untested. And speaking after the game, Cundy launched a scathing attack on the La Liga outfit, claiming a Liverpool fan could’ve partnered Virgil van Dijk at the back.
