Liverpool's record signing Florian Wirtz made his first start for his new club as Arne Slot's side were beaten 4-2 by AC Milan at a sold-out Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.
However, there was no place for Darwin Nunez or Luiz Diaz in the Reds squad amid speculation they could leave following the arrival of Hugo Ekitike and the pursuit of Newcastle United's Alexander Isak.
Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish laid a wreath of flowers before kick-off and the players wore a 'Diogo J 20' emblem on their shirts in tribute to their former team-mate Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident earlier this month.
