Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona: Sadio Mane scores first goal for the Reds in friendly








Sadio Mane scored his first goal for Liverpool as they won 4-0 against a Barcelona side containing Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi in the International Champions Cup at Wembley.
Mane, a £34m summer signing, opened the scoring on 15 minutes before Javier Mascherano scored an own goal.
Divock Origi and Marko Grujic were also on the scoresheet in the second half.
England striker Daniel Sturridge missed the game with a hip injury, while James Milner limped off before half-time.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said Milner had injured his heel. "It is not too good," said Klopp. "He will have a scan and then we will know more."
The Reds begin their Premier League campaign at Arsenal on 14 August.
The game drew the second largest attendance at Wembley, with a crowd of 89,945 turning up to watch.
Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez was facing his old club for the first time since moving to Barcelona in 2014, having scored 82 goals in 133 appearances during three and a half years at Liverpool
