More than 3,000 people tuned in to watch a Pro Evolution Soccer stream of the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid on YouTube.
That's right. Despite not being in Jurgen Klopp's starting XI against Los Blancos on Saturday night, thousands of supporters thought Diogo Jota had opened the scoring when he slotted past Thibaut Courtois with 19 minutes on the clock.
Twitter account @VibesFoot posted a screenshot of the match with the caption: "More than 2000 people watch a stream, thinking they are ahead of the Champions League final."

It looked like Sadio Mane was about to make it 1-0 to the Premier League runners up but Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a superb stop.
Courtois, who has saved Madrid time and time again in the Champions League this season, made three huge stops in the opening 20 minutes.
Two of those denied in-form Mohamed Salah from netting against Carlo Ancelotti's men. Just check out this save.
