Liverpool faced Athletic Bilbao in two pre-season friendlies, winning 4-1 and 3-2. Sixteen-year-old Rio Ngumoha excelled by scoring a solo goal and assisting in the first match. Hugo Ekitike made an impact by assisting in the second match. Cody Gakpo scored twice, while Mohamed Salah converted an early goal and missed a late penalty. Coach Arne Slot praised the team's ability to create chances despite concerns about conceding two set-piece goals. The Reds are preparing for their Community Shield match against Crystal Palace.
In both games, we created a lot of chances. We scored seven goals and that is very pleasing to see,
That pleased me most, the ability to create chances. We have added Hugo, who will be a good player for us. Rio is showing good things in every game in pre-season.
I enjoyed it a lot. It was such a good atmosphere. I feel proud, and I just wish to play so many games in this stadium because it is amazing.
