JAKE PAUL was hilariously mocked by football fans after he posted a clip of him taking a penalty ahead of the Champions League final.
The YouTuber turned boxer announced his support for Liverpool prior to their showdown with Real Madrid on Saturday night.
Paul sent a good luck message to Liverpool ahead of the Champions League final
But his penalty technique was very questionable
The American celebrated wildly when the ball rolled into the net
And he did so with a social media clip of him taking a spot kick – although his technique left a lot to be desired.
Prior to the penalty, he addressed the camera by saying: “Let’s go Liverpool, championship game.
“Let’s go Reds. Mo Salah, this one’s for you.”
He then stepped up and awkwardly scuffed his shot into the net before celebrating on one knee.

Paul was ridiculed online for his lack of footballing ability as the American failed to impress with his botched penalty.
One fan said: “Why do 99.9% of Americans look like their legs don’t belong to the rest of their body when kicking a football.”
Another added: “Have you never kicked a ball before? Are you OK?”
And a third said: “He makes me feel so uncomfortable watching him run and shoot like that .”
Others took the opportunity to compare his questionable football skills to his boxing ability.
“Better at football than boxing clearly,” said one user.
Liverpool went on to lose the Champions League final 1-0 as Real Madrid claimed their 14th European title.
Meanwhile, Paul is currently 5-0 as a professional boxer, with his last two wins coming against former UFC world champion Tyron Woodley.
He has also beaten YouTuber AnEsonGib, basketball player Nate Robinson, and ex-MMA man Ben Askren.
