Liverpool FC v La Liga side Athletic Club

Liverpool FC has announced that Jürgen Klopp’s team will play a friendly in Dublin this summer as part of their pre-season preparations.

Liverpool FC will face La Liga side Athletic Club on Saturday August 5, with kick-off at 5.15pm.

This will be the first time the teams have met since the European Cup campaign of 1983-84, which saw Liverpool go on to lift the trophy for the fourth time in Rome.

The game with Los Leones will be held at the Aviva Stadium, where Liverpool last played more than three years ago when they beat Irish side Shamrock Rovers 4-0.
