By drawing 1-1 at Anfield, Basel qualified for the Last 16 of Europe's elite competition instead of Liverpool, who needed to win at home to progress.
The Swiss side posted this picture on their Instagram account of a beaten player in the each of the three shirts of the English clubs, with the year of when they were defeated at the bottom of their shirt.
Basel, must have got cold feet soon after, however, and quickly deleted the image from their Instagram account.
Basel beat Chelsea twice last season in the Champions League, despite the Blues topping the group and eliminated Tottenham from the Europa League at the quarter-final stage.
