Liverpool's Jamie Carragher believes that Javier Mascherano let himself down badly by refusing to play in the club's away game at Manchester City before his move to Barcelona.
The Argentina captain left Anfield under a cloud after refusing to feature for Roy Hodgson's side at the City of Manchester Stadium, as he angled for a move to the Spanish champions.
Eventually Mascherano got his wish with a €21 million (£17.5m) move to the Nou Camp, but Carragher believes that the midfielder has ruined his relationship with the Liverpool fans and that is something the Argentine will come to regret.
"Mascherano was great for Liverpool for three or four years and it was a privilege to play with them," Carragher told talkSPORT.
"But he let himself down badly and that left a bad taste in the mouth.
"If he'd played in that match he would have got a great send-off and it all would have been fine.
"But he ruined that and I think he'll regret it."
