Rodolfo Borrell paid tribute to his U19s after they beat Marseille 2-0 in the NextGen Series third and fourth place play-off at Chelsea's Cobham training ground.

The Reds had been hammered 6-0 by Ajax in the semi-finals but finished their European campaign on a high against the French outfit.

Michael Ngoo and Adam Morgan were both on target, while Jack Robinson played for 65 minutes on his return from injury.

Borrell said: "It was a fantastic performance from the lads and I am proud of them.

"It was a great way for us to bounce back from the Ajax game and it was a good way to end our first season in the NextGen Series.

"Marseille are a very good team who beat Barcelona in the group stages and our lads did extremely well.

"The NextGen Series has been a great experience for the lads. We have a young squad and we have played against strong and experienced teams. They have a learned a lot for the future."

Liverpool: Ward, McLaughlin, Wisdom, McGiveron, Robinson, Coady, Roddan, Ibe, Adorjan, Morgan, Ngoo.

Inter Milan were crowned the inaugural NextGen Series champions after beating Ajax on penalties at Leyton Orient.

Samuele Longo put Inter ahead but Stefane Denswil's free-kick in the second half restored parity and it finished 1-1 after extra-time.
