Liverpool will take on Como in a double-header preseason friendly, which will come together with a huge crowd at Anfield in the final preseason game before Liverpool start their Premier League season at St James’ Park.
There have been two players who have played for both Como and Liverpool.
**394 appearances 117 clean sheets**
Pepe Reina wasn’t just a shot-stopper; he fundamentally changed how Rafael Benítez’s Reds built play from the back. Arriving in 2005, his razor-sharp reflexes and elite distribution transformed Liverpool’s backline. Scooping three consecutive Golden Gloves from 2006 to 2008, Reina was pivotal to European runs and the 2006 FA Cup win, where his penalty heroics sealed his status. But beyond the clean sheets, it was his passionate relationship with the Kop—celebrating goals full-pitch and orchestrating post-trophy party antics—that cemented his place as a true cult hero.
**His Final Chapter at Como**
Joining Cesc Fàbregas’s ambitious project in July 2024, Reina provided invaluable veteran leadership for Serie A side Como. Before hanging up his gloves at the end of the 2024/25 season, the 42-year-old acted as a crucial dressing-room anchor, providing top-flight composure during the club’s top-tier campaign.
**141 appearances 3 goals**
Signing from Sevilla in 2014 for £12 million, Alberto Moreno was pure chaos wrapped in boundless speed. His blistering solo goal against Tottenham early on promised a dynamic left-back, but his Liverpool tenure became a roller-coaster ride. A key figure under Brendan Rodgers and early Jürgen Klopp, Moreno clocked 141 appearances—though defensive vulnerabilities, most notably in the 2016 Europa League final, frequently drew scrutiny. Yet, despite losing his place to Andy Robertson, his infectious positivity and professional attitude earned immense respect. He departed in 2019 as a Champions League winner, forever remembered for his vibrant energy.
**His Chapter at Como**
In July 2024, Moreno brought his vast European experience to Serie A side Como. Reunited with former Spain teammate Cesc Fàbregas, the veteran left-back added technical composure, tactical flexibility, and top-flight pedigree to support the ambitious Italian club’s top-tier campaign.
