Liverpool began their pre-season trail across the Mersey at the home of newly-promoted League One side Tranmere Rovers.
The Reds, crowned Champions League winners just last month, looked as sparkling as the prized European Cup which was on display at Prenton Park.
Jurgen Klopp fielded two different XI's for each half as Liverpool hit the Whites for six with 13 youngsters given their chance to impress the German coach.
There were some familiar youth stars in the line-up and some newcomers to the first team set up invited to take their chance.
Yasser Larouci
Liverpool dominated the first half and Algerian-born Yasser Larouci was a breath of fresh air at left-back.
The 18-year-old burst into life from the moment referee Mike Dean got things underway.
Larouci who signed for the Reds in 2017 was part of Barry Lewtas' side's FA Youth Cup success last term and showed the same attacking desire and defensive nous for the seniors.
The speedy full-back had one thunderous strike deflected for a corner and another saved.
Rhian Brewster
The Under-17 World Cup winner proved himself on the first-team stage in a spectacular 45-minute outing.
Brewster was at the heart of the action from the off as he teed up Nathaniel Clyne who opened the scoring with a rocket of strike.
The 19-year-old striker scored a quickfire brace to end the half as pending man of the match winner.
Ryan Kent
Rangers duo Steven Gerrard and Gary McAllister have not been shy in expressing their interest in retaining the attacking midfielder following his impressive spell at Rangers.
Kent who has impressed in past pre-seasons showed energy and determination when in possession and it is clear why the Liverpool legend is keen to be reunited with the Oldham-born winger.
Harry Wilson
The Welshman was one of the standout playmaker's in the Championship last season and showed a glimpse of the creativity and control he had in abundance during his Derby County loan.
Wilson played in a pinpoint cross to Brewster who headed home, the 22-year-old has been labelled as worth £25million and could prove a splendid attacking option for Klopp next term.
Vitezslav Jaros
Jaros replaced Simon Mignolet between the sticks, and though the chances were few and far between for Tranmere the Polish shot-stopper showed calmness and maturity in his collection and distrubition.
Ki-Jana Hoever
On a night when Liverpool's youngsters looked wise beyond their years Ki-Jana Hoever, aged just 17 was a outstanding example of this.
The full-back ruthlessly paraded his skills up and down the right flank, one jading run helped set up Bobby Duncan for his debut goal.
George Johnston
The young defender teamed up with the veteran centre-half Joel Matip and looked sturdy at the back.
Johnston will certainly savour his debut and easily justified his selection.
Adam Lewis
Lewis gave a solid account of himself at left-back with Liverpool's squad slightly weakened in the second-half.
The defender still relished his chance to make some forward runs and helped the Reds keep a clean sheet.
Curtis Jones
The central midfielder showed his versatility as he scooped home Liverpool's fourth.
Jones put in an energetic display and capitalised on his opportunity to feature with a smart side-footed finish.
Ben Woodburn
It is hard to believe Woodburn is still just 19-years-old, having already featured for Liverpool's first team the Welshman showed his fluidity in control and attacking maturity.
In the 54th minute the forward helped tee-up Curtis Jones' with a bruising cross out to the far post.
Bobby Duncan
A confident and determined young forward Duncan scored a delightful tap in and his celebration summed up just what it meant for this boyhood Red.
Duncan scored bags of goals for the U18's and at Prenton Park proved he can cut it with the seniors.
Paul Glatzel
The FA Youth Cup winner suffered a different fate than that of his goalscoring partner Duncan.
Unfortunately for Glatzel he sustained an injury during the final quarter and was substituted.
The striker showed promising signs before then and will hopefully make his return to fitness soon.
Dan Atherton
The goalkeeper was called upon to replace the injured Glatzel and took well to his unfamiliar role upfront.
It is unlikely we will get to see Atherton rushing through on goal again anytime soon, but you never know.
