Just over a month after winning the Champions League in Madrid, Liverpool are back in action preparing for the 2019/20 season.
It's a funny old situation Liverpool find themselves in. Over the past five years, they've.
Gillett United Kingdom: I’m not saying he would have had a hero’s welcome but there would presumably have been a huge amount of goodwill. He saved LFC from Hicks + Gillett. Now he’ll barely be able to show his face in the city and will be remembered for his greed. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Grizz khan @GrizzKhan 13h Iv done my bit by cancelling my sky subscription and not supporting the sky propaganda machine that’s trying to claim the moral high ground on all of this. Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi both score as Liverpool win a sixth Champions League trophy with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at the Wanda Metropolitano.
The Reds began their pre-season at Prenton Park against neighbours Tranmere Rovers in what has become a regular summer fixture.
The run-out turned into a rout for Jurgen Klopp's men as they won the tie 6-0 over the League Two playoff winners. However, the big talking point of the evening was one Rhian Brewster.
The 19-year-old has long been touted as Liverpool's next big thing, winning the Under-17 World Cup and Golden Boot in 2017, before serious injury stopped him taking part in most of the 2018/19 season.
Klopp expects the fit-again striker to finally make an impact on the first team in the campaign to come, with the game against Tranmere giving fans an early glimpse of what to expect.
Two poacher's goals in the first half didn't exactly slow down the hype train and not even a Twitter blackout could stop the love in..
Two Brewster goals and Twitter can't handle the load. LFC is gargantuan.

Brewster breaking Twitter was cool. Divock resurrecting it was Origi.

Divock Origi has just come off the bench to score. As he does. It is 5-0 at the moment. Rhian Brewster scored the first two of what, presumably, will be many in his LFC career.

Rhian Brewster is going to have a breakthrough season
— 6ix times 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (@george_dwo) July 11, 2019Brewster is getting the type of hype that was around Michael Owen whilst he was coming through .this pre season should give us a little taster of things to come with this highly rated teenager. For me he’s the one I’m most looking forward to watching in next few weeks .#LFC
— Gri66 (@GrizzKhan) July 11, 2019This guy gets it..
Not one for exaggerating, but Rhian Brewster is quite possibly better than peak Dennis Bergkamp.
— SH (@Sennesation) July 11, 2019So do these guys..
Brewster is the English Mbappe.
— 6 (@AnfieldRd96) July 11, 2019I have seen Brewster play for 11 minutes, but can say he is comfortably better than Mbappé.
— #4 🇳🇴 (@EliteVanDijk) July 11, 2019Speaking earlier this month, Klopp also tipped Brewster for an important role this year, saying: 'He is a really big talent. We’re really looking forward to seeing him in training and all that stuff.
'It will be an important role for us, we planned an important role for him. So, [he is like a] new player.'

Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid are among the 12 clubs who have signed up for a new breakaway Super League that has sparked fury at UEFA HQ.

There have been threats that any players who take part in the Super League will be banned from competing in any UEFA and FIFA competitions - including the Euros and the World Cup.
But it could be even more severe as Moller, head of the Danish FA, has said he expects Chelsea, City and Madrid to be kicked out of this season's Champions League before they get the chance to fulfil their semi-final first legs.
Per the Independent, Moller says he 'expects' the trio to be thrown out on Friday 23 April, four days before the first semi-final between Real Madrid and Chelsea is scheduled to take place.
What it would mean for the fate of this season's trophy remains to be seen, but the obvious course of action seems to be awarding PSG the title by default - since they are the only semi-finalist not currently at risk of being disqualified.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin earlier branded those involved as 'snakes' and 'liars' with his fury particularly directed towards Manchester United's Ed Woodward and Juventus' Andrea Agnelli.
He said: 'If I start with Ed Woodward, he called me last Thursday evening saying he’s very satisfied with and fully supports the reforms and the only thing he want to talk about was FFP, when obviously he had already signed something else.
'Andrea Agnelli is the biggest disappointment of all, I’ve never seen a person that would lie so many times, so persistently as he did. It’s unbelievable.
'We didn't know we had snakes so close to us, now we know.

'Super League is only about money, money of the dozen, I don't want to call them dirty dozen, but UEFA is about developing football, and about financing what should be financed, that our football, our culture survives, and some people don't understand it.

'Not only the football world, but society and governments are united. It's part of our culture. We are all united against this nonsense of a project.'
