Liverpool Legends vs Barcelona Legends: 6 things you missed as Steven Gerrard shows class

Steven Gerrard scored on his return to Anfield but couldn't prevent Liverpool from losing 2-1 to Barcelona in a star-studded charity match between the two clubs' legends.

Icons of both the Reds and Blaugrana were on show on Saturday, with Gerrard's ice-cold penalty opening the scoring after just 12 minutes. But Barca were back on level terms just before half-time, as Giovanni coolly slotted home past Sander Westerveld at the Kop End.

The legendary Rivaldo then completed the comeback a matter of minutes after the interval, taking a superb penalty to prove that his class was permanent too, wrapping up a good-spirited 90 minutes of football to put smiles of faces and, crucially, raise money for the LFC Foundation in what had been an annual event prior the Covid-19 pandemic. Here are six things you might've missed from Anfield.
