Joel Matip produced another hilariously awkward moment – this time outside of a game – in the wake of Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over city rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby.
The Cameroonian had to be instructed to stand several feet apart from his interviewers following the Blues’ crushing defeat at Goodison Park.
The beloved defender’s resulting ‘iconic’ retreat attracted a number of comments from amused fans on the Twittersphere, not to mention the attention of @NoContextJMatip, an account dedicated to documenting Matipisms.

When Matip will be old he and his grandkids will have a lot of no context stuff which he'll proudly explain to them. 😍
