Joel Matip might not have even played against Inter for Liverpool last night, but he still managed to get himself involved in the action, even if his captain wasn't too sure about it.
The Reds were forced to dig in against the high-energy Milan side at the San Siro on Wednesday evening, but finally made the breakthrough with quarter of an hour to go, when substitute Roberto Firmino flicked an Andy Robertson corner into the net, putting the visitors in front.
The Brazilian was mobbed by his teammates on the touchline where Robertson had delivered the dead ball and keen to get involved with the celebration, unused substitute Matip congratulated his teammates by 'tapping' a number of them on the head.

But when Jordan Henderson received a 'welcome' whack on top of his crown, the midfielder turned around and gave Matip a death stare that suggested he felt the full force of the big defender's palm.
But this morning Henderson took to social media to poke fun at his teammate.
In an Instagram story featuring video footage of the incident, Henderson wrote: "Keep your big hands away from me," alongside a laughing emoji.
Matip has been in fine form for Liverpool this season alongside Virgil van Dijk but had to watch fellow centreback Ibrahima Konate put in a superb shift of his own at the San Siro from the side lines.
Based on Henderson's reaction, Matip would be better sticking to swatting opposition attackers instead of his teammate's heads in the future.
