Jurgen Klopp compared "exceptional" Jadon Sancho to Raheem Sterling and Liverpool's own Rhian Brewster after the Reds suffered their first defeat of pre-season.
Sancho starred as Borussia Dortmund beat the European champions 3-2 in South Bend, Indiana, where the England international was up against young Reds left-back Yasser Larouci.
Spanish forward Paco Alcacer opened the scoring for the Germans in just the third minute after the Reds failed to clear, but Harry Wilson soon slotted home an equaliser following a fine dummy from Ryan Kent.
Second half strikes from Thomas Delaney and Jacob Bruun Larsen put Dortmund back in control though, with Liverpool pulling one back through Brewster's penalty, as the young forward scored his fourth goal in three pre-season appearances.
After the game Klopp was asked about Sancho - who has been linked with Liverpool in the past - and was full of praise for the teenager.
"He’s an exceptional talent but he’s not the only one in England at the moment," he told reporters .
"That age group has already a few - Rhian Brewster is the same age. [And there is] Raheem Sterling, for example. I don’t want to forget any wingers, but there are a lot of talents; young and very, very promising players in England.
"There is no doubt about the potential of Jadon Sancho. His speed and body control at the highest speed is his main strength.
"Being good in big spaces and in small spaces makes you a pretty interesting player – and that’s what Jadon is.
"Yasser [Larouci] our 18-year-old left-back played against one of the biggest talents in world football and did pretty well the whole night. The pitch helped a little but, but still he did really well."
