What Andy Robertson did at 2am with two Liverpool teammates after big Benfica victory

Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson basked in the Champions League victory over Benfica with a late-night recovery session.

The Scotland captain was joined in the swimming pool by fellow full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and talisman Mohamed Salah after the Reds won 3-1 quarter-final victory.

Ibrahima Konate and Sadio Mane scored in the first half and Luis Diaz restored the visitors' two-goal lead after Darwin Nunez temporarily halved the deficit.

Robertson provided the assist for Konate's opener with a 17th-minute corner while right-back Alexander-Arnold created Liverpool's second goal with a precise diagonal pass to Diaz, who teed up Mane with a header.

Salah posted the picture alongside his two teammates on his Instagram page at 2am and captioned it: "Recovery time."

This is not the first time the former Chelsea star has been seen recovering late into the night.

In fact, he was up even later following September's group-stage victory over AC Milan and shared a post from the pool at 3am, this time on his own.

Recovery will be key for the trio who are likely to play a huge role in Sunday's titanic title clash at Manchester City given the short turnovers between matches.

The Reds will play at least eight during April as they push to win an unprecedented quadruple.

Jurgen Klopp's men are in the midst of a hectic schedule and could find themselves in the semi-finals of the Champions League, at the top of the Premier League and in the final of the FA Cup at the end of it.

After the second leg against Benfica, they face Manchester City again, but this time in the FA Cup semi-finals, on Saturday, April 16.
