Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold's healthy rivalry was on show to see once again during one of Liverpool's latest training sessions.
Jurgen Klopp's side will take part in a friendly versus Red Bull Salzburg this evening and have been preparing for this showdown at their Austrian base as they look to round off their final overseas friendly with a win. The Reds were 4-0 winners against Salzburg's sister club, RB Leipzig, and will be hoping to produce a similar display.
Footage from inside Liverpool's camp has provided clear evidence of the commitment levels being shown by the first-team, with Robertson epitomising the desire to come out on top at all costs. Venturing forward into the final third during a training match, the Scotland international reacted quickest to Kostas Tsimikas' shot which bounced off the crossbar and back into play in heroic style.

Performing a brave diving header, which saw the left-back narrowly avoid connecting with the boot of Alexander-Arnold directly on his face, the 28-year-old found the back of the net and wasted little time to wind up the Reds' right-back. After watching Alexander-Arnold collapse to the ground in frustration at his inability to win back possession of the ball, the former Hull City defender screamed in the face of Liverpool's local hero before later sending him a sarcastic message on social media.
Sharing three separate images of the goal on his Instagram story to rile his direct rival for being the first-team member with the most assists each season, Robertson added the following words as a caption: "Wanted it more."
