Footage shared on social media showed Sir Paul, 82, addressing the crowd after the performance, reportedly saying: "Thank you, Scousers."

A Scouser, Alexander-Arnold has been with Liverpool since the age of six and has won every trophy imaginable with them.

Mr Byrne said he "could not be more proud right now to be a Scouser".
