Liverpool take on Barcelona at Anfield this evening looking to overturn a 3-0 deficit and reach their second successive Champions League final.

The odds are firmly stacked against the Reds but they shouldn’t be ruled out given their history of producing European comebacks.

One man who could make his first-team debut is young striker Rhian Brewster. The 19-year-old has spent the majority of the campaign sidelined through injury but is now back to full fitness.

Brewster looks like a star of the future and Klopp might offer him the chance to experience a European night under the Anfield lights.

Supporters were quick to respond to his tweet and we rounded up the best messages to the youngster…
