to show off their Virgil\u2019s Legacy Trophy silverware on the pitch at Anfield on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>The young squad were the winners of an inaugural tournament organised by senior Reds captain Virgil van Dijk in the Netherlands last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Played in Tilburg in association with Van Dijk\u2019s former youth club Willem II, there were 16 teams competing across two days.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Yates\u2019 Liverpool group won all three games in the opening stage, chalking up victories over Willem II, Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n<p>A 5-2 defeat of Manchester City in the last four carried them through to the final, where they were 2-1 winners against Feyenoord.<\/p>\n<p>To acknowledge their success, Van Dijk invited the squad to the Reds\u2019 Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid and they took to the pitch at half-time to parade their trophy in front of a capacity Anfield crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u200c<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\"
