English club Liverpool will square up against Barcelona at Wembley in August in the International Champions Cup.
It was today confirmed the Reds will take on the Spanish giants at the national stadium on Saturday, August 6, with kick off at 5pm.
The fixture had initially been announced back in March as part of the pre-season preparations for Jurgen Klopp 's side.
Dublin's Aviva Stadium had been mooted as a possible venue, but now Wembley is likely to be a 90,000 sell-out for the showpiece match.
It means the Reds are set to be reunited with former players Luis Suarez and Javier Mascherano for the the first time since the pair departed for Camp Nou.
Liverpool ambassador Gary McAllister said: "What an incredible game to round off such a high profile tournament and all set under the iconic Wembley arch.
"I’m sure this game will be a great spectacle for Reds fans and football fans in general – I can’t wait.”
