Meet Paul Glatzel - The German Scouser hoping to fire Liverpool to FA Youth Cup glory

The Reds' under-18 captain reflects on his injury hell and his unusual family history ahead of this week's final with Manchester City

Training rhythms mean Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to make it to the FA Youth Cup final, but Germany will be strongly represented nonetheless.

For Paul Glatzel, captain of Liverpool’s under-18 side, this is the biggest night of his career. A showpiece occasion, in front of a capacity crowd, with silverware on the line. Throw in the fact that it’s Manchester City who stand in the way, and that the game will be played on their home turf, and you have the makings of a very special evening indeed.
