Liverpool Do the Double Over Athletic Club at Anfield 🔴😤

Liverpool flexed their squad depth and attacking power with back-to-back victories over La Liga side Athletic Club in a unique double-header at Anfield — sending a clear message ahead of the new season.

Arne Slot’s side kicked off the day with a youthful lineup in the first match, where rising stars like Rio Ngumoha and Ben Doak lit up the pitch. The Reds stormed to a 4-1 win, with Darwin Núñez also finding the net in a lively performance that showcased the club’s emerging talent.

But the fireworks didn’t stop there.

Just over an hour later, a completely new XI took the field — this time featuring a star-studded attack of Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike, and Florian Wirtz. And it didn’t take long for them to make an impact.

Ekitike’s sharp run and inch-perfect cutback found Salah, who calmly slotted home to open the scoring in the second fixture. The trio looked dangerous throughout, giving fans their first taste of what could become one of the league’s most exciting forward lines.

The second match ended in a 3-2 win, sealing the double over the Spanish visitors and wrapping up a thrilling day at Anfield.

Fans Left Buzzing

Supporters were quick to take to social media, praising both the youth and senior squads:

• “Two games, two wins, tons of promise. Arne Ball is real!”
• “That Wirtz-Ekitike-Salah link-up is already cooking 🔥”
• “Ngumoha and Doak are going to be a problem this season…”

With the Community Shield against Crystal Palace up next, Liverpool’s pre-season couldn’t be looking much better.

The message is clear: Liverpool are locked in and loaded.
