The 24-year-old, who joined the Toffees in July 2018, has not featured in Europe's elite competition himself.
In an interview with TNT Sports, the Brazilian was asked if there was a team he would rather not win the Champions League this season and Toffees around the world will love his answer.
"From here in England, I would prefer Liverpool not to win. Because, like it or not, it's like you said, it's a rival and we don't want the guys to win.
"Because there's banter, total banter, Liverpool fans go on social media to make fun of us. So, if I had to choose, I would choose Liverpool not to win."
