Liverpool were the runaway victors in the Premier League last season - so it should be no surprise that they left plenty of teams were left wowed by Jurgen Klopp's men.
One such player who was left flabbergasted at the standard of play on the pitch was Norwich City full-back Max Aarons.
The 20-year-old was left stunned by all of Liverpool's players, but one in particular was singled out by him for special praise.
Aarons told The Athletic: "It turned 4-0 few minutes before half-time.
"I remember Roberto Firmino doing this particular touch underneath his leg and when I got into the changing room I remember saying 'Wow, they are top top level!'
"You see it on TV and it looks good. You applaud the goals and you’re like, 'They look sharp' but when you’re up against it, I can’t tell you how quick and sharp it was. That was definitely a moment of realisation.... It was unbelievable!"
Aarons has been linked with a move to both Bayern Munich and Tottenham of late as Norwich face the consequences of their relegation to the Championship.
Liverpool have been linked with the likes of Jamal Lewis, Todd Cantwell and Emiliano Buendia in some quarters, with Daniel Farke's side potentially set to be dismantled over the next few months.
Firmino netted nine times in the Premier League as the Reds became champions for the first time in three decades, but just one of those goals - against Chelsea in their final home game - came at Anfield.
