Liverpool vs Barcelona legends - friendly: Live score, team news and updates

Steven Gerrard proved he can still light up Anfield as he scored on his return to the famous stadium, but it was not enough to prevent his team from slipping to a 2-1 defeat against Barcelona Legends in a charity game to raise money for the LFC Foundation on Saturday.

Lining up alongside a host of former team-mates including Jamie Carragher and Dirk Kuyt, it did not take long for Gerrard to make an impact as he earned the home side a penalty when he was brought down by Edmilson.

There was no doubting who would take the spot-kick, and Gerrard duly converted from 12 yards to put Liverpool in front in the 14th minute.
