The discussion centers on identifying a specific water bottle used by a Liverpool player during a match. Observers noted a brief shot of the player drinking from what appeared to be two aligned cups, prompting curiosity about the design. A Google Images search led to a link for a product on Amazon, identified as a hygienic water bottle, and a manufacturer’s page that describes its features. The design includes a chin shelf intended to help players drink without touching the dispenser tip, likened to a portable water fountain. The conversation also hints at regional variations in water bottle designs.

Does anybody know what this Liverpool player is drinking from? They only showed a very brief shot of this during an injury pause after this player scored the first goal of the match.

Possibly two conventional cups held in exact alignment. Note the twin highlights on the cup(s) below the players hands.
 
Well, this is interesting. I did a Google Images search on LIverpool soccer water bottles and got this hit:

And this appears to be the manufacturer's page:

It's a little hard to tell, but it kind of looks like the little chin shelf is meant to help players gauge how close to get the bottle to their mouth without actually touching the dispenser tip with their lips:
