A star-studded Liverpool legends team was beaten 2-1 by Barcelona at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Despite taking the lead through Steven Gerrard’s penalty, the Reds were pegged back when Giovanni raced clear to finish past Sander Westerveld a minute before the break.
Barca then sealed victory in the opening stages of the second half when Rivaldo converted from the penalty spot after Phil Baab brought down Giovanni inside the box. Referee Peter Bankes had no hesitation in pointing to the spot.
