Rivaldo has been added to Barça Legends' squad for the meeting with Liverpool FC Legends at Anfield on Saturday.

The Brazilian football icon is among the former Barcelona players heading to Merseyside on Friday for the encounter in L4.

Rivaldo, a World Cup and Champions League winner, will form part of Albert Ferrer's travelling party, which also includes Edgar Davids, Gaizka Mendieta, Javier Saviola and Juliano Belletti.

He'll come up against a Liverpool side managed by Sir Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush, and containing Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Dirk Kuyt, Maxi Rodriguez and many more.

Fans can watch the 3pm GMT kick-off on Facebook Live by purchasing a virtual ticket for £1.99.

The match will help raise funds for a variety of LFC Foundation projects, including its employability and training and health and wellbeing programmes.

Proceeds raised from the occasion will also help LFC Foundation's charity partners, with The Owen McVeigh Foundation and Right to Play both receiving donations to support their incredible work.

Forever Reds, the club's official former players association, and Barcelona's official charity, the Barça Foundation, will also receive a proportion of the proceeds.
