Liverpool dealt Barcelona a crushing 4-0 defeat in the first International Champions Cup match played at Wembley.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were at their irresistible best against the floundering Liga champions, taking the lead through the brilliant Sadio Mane.
In the second half, a Javier Mascherano own goal against his old side, a Divock Origi strike and a looping stoppage-time Marko Grujic header added to a deserved scoreline that threatened to embarrass Lionel Messi and his team-mates.
By the time Barca got to grips with Liverpool’s dynamic attacking play, the game – and the tournament – was beyond them, handing Paris Saint-Germain the title.
Luis Enrique’s side must now hope for an improved display in the Supercopa de Espana against Sevilla, while Liverpool start their Premier League campaign at Arsenal next weekend.
