Andy Robertson condemned fans throwing objects at footballers after claiming he had lighters chucked at him during Liverpool's 3-1 win over Benfica.
But the unflappable Scotland international left-back joked that maybe it would stop the fans from smoking. He said on BT Sport on Tuesday night: "They weren't best pleased were they! I had quite a few lighters thrown at me, so maybe it'll help them stop smoking and take the positives.
"But, we've seen it a lot, people getting hit and things like that, it was quite close to me but none hit me. I know when it's late in the game and you get frustrated but, you know you shouldn't throw stuff onto the pitch and try to hurt people."
