Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain tips Dejan Lovren to be a future manager

The day after the biggest win of the season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was in full on recovery mode.

Liverpool surged into the semi-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday night with a 2-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The come-from-behind win secured a devastating 5-1 aggregate win over the Premier League leaders, and the England midfielder took the time to kick back on Wednesday.

FUTURE MANAGER? 

Oxlade-Chamberlain poked fun at Dejan Lovren’s half-time rallying cry – joking it gives him managerial potential.

Lovren revealed afterwards: ‘To be honest I was shouting a bit at half time. I told the lads to wake up because it was not good enough and I said we were sitting too deep. Of course Klopp said “Yes you are sitting too deep because you are not pushing up”.

‘He wanted me and Virgil (van Dijk) to be more compact and push the team up but it was quite difficult, you know, to push up when City had the ball. I needed to remind the guys that we had 50 minutes to be in the semi-finals of the Champions League.’

He shared two pictures of himself on Instagram relaxing and recuperating before the Reds return to action with the visit of Bournemouth on Saturday.

In one of the pictures he was wearing an oxygen mask while in another he was lying inside a recovery chamber.

In a series of stories on his social media profile, Oxlade-Chamberlain also poked fun on team-mate Dejan Lovren.

After Sportsmail revealed the Croatian defender’s rallying cry at half-time, he screenshotted the headline of the story and tipped Lovren to become a future manager.

He later snapped the centre-back lounging back in a bath, and asked ‘why you hiding now bro?’

Gabriel Jesus had sent Pep Guardiola’s side into a second minute lead as they looked to overhaul a three-goal deficit from last week’s first leg at Anfield.

But after surviving the hosts’ first-half onslaught, Liverpool hit back with goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino to secure their place in the last four.

Liverpool will learn their semi-final fate on Friday, with Real Madrid, Juventus, Sevilla and Bayern Munich battling it out on Wednesday night.

Roma joined the Reds in the final four after sealing a sensational comeback victory against Barcelona at the Stadio Olimpico.

Having been 4-1 down from the first-leg at the Nou Camp last week, the Serie A club won 3-0 to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1984.
