A Liverpool U13s squad were victorious at the Virgil’s Legacy Trophy tournament in the Netherlands this weekend.
Organised by Reds captain Virgil van Dijk alongside his former youth club Willem II, the two-day event featured 16 teams and took place in Tilburg.
Liverpool were up against the hosts, Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain during Saturday’s group-stage matches at Sportpark Prinsenhoeve.
And they chalked up three successive victories, by scorelines of 3-0, 4-2 and 2-0 respectively.
The competition culminated with a series of knockout fixtures on Sunday, leading up to the showpiece final played in Koning Willem II Stadion.
In the semi-finals the Reds defeated Manchester City 5-2 and they then secured the trophy by overcoming Feyenoord 2-1 in the decider.
