The students, aged 16-17, enjoyed an action-packed match from an executive box in the new Main Stand.

Their day was made even more memorable when former Red and Istanbul hero Vladimir Smicer popped in to say hello.

Sixteen-year-old student Mike Green said: “I was absolutely delighted to be invited to the game. It’s the first time I’ve had the chance to go to an LFC match since I was 10 years old, so it’s been a fantastic experience.

“It was great to meet a former player. I was only young when the famous Istanbul final happened, but I often watch the game back now so it was amazing to meet one of the goalscorers.
