Liverpool's "past, present and future" were on show as the Reds travelled halfway around the world for a 3-0 friendly win against Sydney FC in Australia on Wednesday.
Jurgen Klopp selected a number of his regulars alongside some of the club's most talented youngsters but his squad also contained four "legends" in Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Steve McManaman and Daniel Agger. Their inclusion gave interest to what would otherwise have seemed a fairly pointless exercise.
Money-spinning games such as this are becoming more common in modern football, but the inclusion of popular former players alongside the current squad certainly adds some much needed intrigue, particularly when some of those ex-players have been earning a living by critiquing the current crop.
