Liverpool produced a wonderful display against Spanish powerhouse Barcelona, to register a commanding 4-0 victory.
Sadio Mane was the standout performer, opening the scoring and playing a pivotal role in Javier Mascherano’s own goal.
Belgian striker Divock Origi staked his claim for a regular starting role with an accomplished display which saw him score a clinical goal from a tight angle.
The icing on the cake for 90,000 Reds fans packed into Wembley was an outrageous looping Marko Grujic header in the final seconds of the match.
Liverpool fans have been impressed with their pre-season form, however whether they can continue the momentum once the Premier League season begins next weekend is a different story.
Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter following the win:
#LFC fans can’t be happy about beating Barca yet Utd fans wanted Old Trafford renamed after Ibrahimovic after his goal against Galatasaray.

All three of #LFC‘s goals have coming from winning the ball back and speedily transitioning into attack. Quick and slick.

After Losing a Friendly It’s Hilarious How People Actually Believe that Barça are Going to Have a Bad Season & LFC Is Winning Prem 😂 #LIVFCB

A lot of players did their chances no harm of starting against Arsenal next week. Gonna be a few who are unlucky to miss out #LFC

Team looking good. Shame Karius is injured. But if we dont buy a new left back we could undo all the hard work! #LFC

Watching 5-10 minutes of the game intermittently when I find the time & have just seen Mane’s goal. Utterly stunning play. Faultless counter

Brilliant football.
I’m sorry Henderson I doubted you.
Mane is unbelievable.
Origi madness.
Klavan legend.
Class display from all the boys.— – (@AnfieldRd96) August 6, 2016
I don’t mean to overhype this at all, but Mané is better than Messi, Origi is better than Pele & we’re better than peak Brazil.

Barcelona 0 Liverpool 4

Mane, Klavan – outstanding and that 4th goal was a beauty#LFCvBarca— TheOfficialLFCStory (@LFCHistoryShow) August 6, 2016
