There was a party atmosphere in the Stadio Olimpico away dressing room on Wednesday evening as Liverpool celebrated reaching the Champions League final.
And amid a room of jubilant Liverpool stars, centre back Dejan Lovren was the happiest camper of them all as he led the dancing alongside his team-mates.
The centre back posted a video on Instagram of him throwing some shapes while still draped in the Liverpool New Haven scarf he’d picked up at the final whistle.

Lovren panned the camera round to show a beaming Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, dressed in just a towel, as he toasted the achievement by taking to social media.
The defender also tied the scarf around his head and repeatedly shouted: ‘Final!’ as he jumped up and down in the Liverpool dressing room.
Lovren then turned to team-mates Nathaniel Clyne, Dominic Solanke, Alberto Moreno and Ragnar Klavan to join his selfie video.

And Lovren completed his bizarre celebrations by singing a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s: ‘I Just Called To Say I Love You’.
The Croatian played the full 90 minutes in both matches as Liverpool booked their spot in the final by edging past Roma 7-6 on aggregate.
Liverpool were forced to withstand a late fightback from Roma in the semi-final second leg having entered the match with a 5-2 lead from the Anfield clash.

Having gone 1-0 and 2-1 up through Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum strikes, Roma scored three second-half goals to win 4-2 on the night, just one away from sending the semi-final to extra time.
But Liverpool survived the scare and will bid to secure their sixth European Cup and first since 2005 when they face holders Real Madrid in the final in Kiev.
Madrid, who beat Bayern Munich in the semis, are bidding for a third successive Champions League title having become the first team to successfully defend the competition last season.
