Jordan Henderson believes the return of Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho to Anfield tonight is an indication of how far Liverpool have progressed in recent years.
The Barcelona pair will contest their first club game at Anfield since leaving the Reds for Camp Nou in 2014 and 2018 respectively.
The fact this comes in a Champions League semi-final represents a marker of the club's development, Henderson feels.
And while the captain considers Suarez and Coutinho ‘good friends’, he insists all sentiment will be put to one side as Liverpool aim to overturn a three-goal deficit from last week’s first leg.
