Liverpool legends 5 – Bayern Munich legends 5!
If you are going to play a charity legends match, then 10 goals in a 5-5 draw is a good way to go about it.
Anfield was treated to a real spectacle on Saturday as legends of Liverpool and Bayern Munich played out a brilliant match.
With it being an international break Saturday, there seems little doubt that this was the game of the day.
Incredibly, had Bayern Munich legends won out it would have been the first-ever victory for a German team at Liverpool’s Anfield.
Bayern Munich post official highlights of the 5-5 draw!

Michael Owen capitalised on a goalkeeper mistake for 2-0 Liverpool.
Liverpool continued to dominate with Robbie Fowler chesting in for 3-0.
Bayern came back into the match thanks to a Luca Toni header. Alex Zickler quickly made it 3-2.
Paulo Sergio completed a mad cap half an hour by curling in for 3-3.
Xabi Alonso plays for both teams
As a former legend of both teams, Xabi Alonso started the game for Liverpool, before playing the second half for Bayern.
Amusingly, whilst playing for Liverpool, Alonso set up Zickler for his second and 4-3 Bayern.
The sides went in to half-time at 4-4 thanks to a deflected Robbie Fowler free-kick.
