Bradley Barcola stretched out his arms and wheeled away in celebration. The year was 2022, and the young Frenchman was starring for Lyon at a midseason tournament in Dubai, which was staged to ensure players who weren't featuring at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar maintained their match fitness.
On this particular occasion, it was Liverpool who felt the impact of Barcola's right foot as he swept a fine effort past Adrián to help Lyon to a 3-1 victory at Al Maktoum Stadium.
For some of the Anfield hierarchy, it was their first introduction to a player who would later go on to star several times for the Paris Saint-Germain side that has tormented Liverpool in Europe in recent years. Now, after agreeing a £120 million deal that will see Barcola become the second-most expensive player in the club's history, the Reds will hope the 23-year-old can become the face of a new era on Merseyside under Andoni Iraola.
