Liverpool outclasses almighty Barcelona..

Liverpool celebrate their goal against Barcelona

Premier League side Liverpool humbled Spanish Champions Barcelona 4-0 in an Intercontinental champions Cup tie played at the Wembley Stadium.

The Baulgrana fell to powerful finishes from Sadio Mane and Divok Origi while Javier Macherano’s own goal put the Reds 3-0 ahead before Marko Grujic completed the rout in injury time.

Barcelona had Andreas Iniesta Sergio Busquets and Gerrard Pique have minimal game time while Liverpool played their eight and final pre-season game with full force before the Premier League season starts.

Adam Lalana was the architect of the first goal as he stole the ball early on and he nutmeg Mascherano to find Mane who beat Marc ter Stegen in goal to put Liverpool one goal up.

Another defensive sluggishness at Barcelona’s back-line gave the Anfield giants the second after Mane’s cross into the six-yard box forced a comical own goal from Mascherano.

Claudio Bravo was beaten just seconds after coming in by Origi’s sharp finish as the striker was played in by Busquest’s error.

Lionel Messi had his moments in the game as he shot hit the far post from close range where it should have been 1-1 but the rout was completed when Grujic’s looping header sealed a memorable win for the English side.
