Liverpool fans were able to debut a famous song in Europe vs Bayer Leverkusen. The Reds are hitting new heights, after all.

Liverpool had a fantastic match on Tuesday as they welcomed Bayer Leverkusen to town. It was another test of Arne Slot's Reds - and he apparently needs a lot of those before people starting believing.

This was against Xabi Alonso, too - one of Liverpool's top choices for the head coach role this year, along with Slot. It's safe to say the Dutchman got the better of him.

A pretty even first half saw Liverpool tinker their gameplan a bit for the second half. It worked wonders, with the Reds absolutely overwhelming Leverkusen.

Curtis Jones found Luis Diaz for the first, before Mohamed Salah supplied a perfect cross minutes later for Cody Gakpo to double the lead. Diaz would then go on to score two more to complete his hattrick and send Liverpool home 4-0 winners.

With that, it's four wins from four in the new-look UEFA Champions League. And that provided fans with an opportunity.

Liverpool are top of the league(s)

Liverpool are now the only team to have won all four of their Champions League fixtures. That could change tonight with Aston Villa yet to play, but as things stand, it's the Reds who lead the way.

They're now top of the league as a result - something that's a complete first for the club. There has never actually been a league in the Champions League before this season, after all.

But the new-look format presented the chance and Liverpool took it. They're top of the Champions League (as well as the Premier League, we'd like to add) and the fans took advantage.

The Anfield crowd belted out 'Liverpool, top of the league, Liverpool Liverpool, top of the league' towards the end of the fixture. It's a first for the song in Europe, given it's never made sense before, meeting the first Liverpool set with their table-topping results.

Hopefully, it's not the last time, either. Next up is Real Madrid on October 27th - let's see if the Reds are still singing it after that.
