Arne Slot’s side then wrapped up their pre-season tour of Asia with a 3-1 victory over Yokohoma in the J.League World Challenge, a match which brought a debut for Hugo Ekitike and a maiden Liverpool goal for Florian Wirtz.
Now, fresh from unveiling their new adidas kit and the squad numbers of summer signings including Wirtz (No 7) and Ekitike (No 22), and as the club’s latest transfer saga continues, Liverpool will host their La Liga opponents for a pair of back-to-back friendlies, kicking off at 5pm and 8pm BST.
With the chance to field two different starting line-ups against the Basque outfit, who finished fourth in the Spanish top flight and reached the Europa League semi-finals last season, Slot could provide clues as to his first-choice XI ahead of next weekend’s Community Shield, held at Wembley against FA Cup winners Crystal Palace.
After that the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season will be upon us, kicked off by the Reds welcoming Bournemouth to Merseyside.
