The fifth edition of the tournament will take place on August 1 and 2 at the Allianz Arena, where the Reds will compete against three other European clubs – Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and a further team to be announced at a later date.
The news was broken via live 3D holographic transmission with Jürgen Klopp beaming in from Anfield to join Bayern’s Carlo Ancelotti and Atletico’s Diego Simeone at the hologram press conference in Munich in a sporting-world first.
This is the first time the Reds have competed in the biannual event and will see Klopp’s return to the Allianz Arena, where he enjoyed some memorable moments with former club Borussia Dortmund.
