Ryanair aimed a cheeky remark at a Liverpool fan who asked the budget airline about a cheap trip to Istanbul.
The Champions League 2021 final takes place in the Turkish capital at the Ataturk Stadium on May 29 - the same arena in which the Reds claimed an incredible fifth European Cup back in 2005.
Jurgen Klopp's side face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the competition this term, with a route planned out on Friday of how they could reach the competion's showpiece event - with a match against either Porto or Chelsea upcoming in the semi-finals should they progress.
And Liverpool supporter Sean Dowd (@seandow13459151) tweeted Ryanair, simply asking: "What's the cheapest way to get to Istanbul, @Ryanair? Asking for a friend #CL".
The tongue-in-cheek post was clearly insinuating that Liverpool would be reaching the Champions League final, and Ryanair responded with their own sassy remark - aiming a dig at the Reds as they did so.
"Hi Sean," they wrote. "Unfortunately we currently do not fly to Istanbul. Seeing as you are a Liverpool fan, we doubt you'll be flying there any time soon either."
Sean took it in good spirits, responding with laughing emojis and saying: "Cheers lads, I prefer @AerLingus anyways".
And Ryanair decided to cover themselves a bit with the reply: "Admin sincerely hopes this tweet doesn't come back to bite us..."
Liverpool's quarter-final clash at Real Madrid is set to take place on April 6th with a return Anfield fixture scheduled for the week after.
