Liverpool fans had a first glimpse of Victor Munoz in matchday action during the Reds' 3-2 defeat to Monaco on Sunday afternoon.
Just 21 days after lifting the World Cup with Spain, the summer signing from Osasuna came on for the final half-hour of the match at Anfield today, having cut short his holiday to ensure that he'd be ready to feature against the Ligue 1 outfit.
The 23-year-old was given a rousing reception when he entered the fray in the 59th minute, with the natives welcoming him warmly as they watched him in action for his new club for the first time.
Munoz didn't manage to get on the scoresheet for Liverpool this afternoon, but his performance at Anfield met with positive reviews from a few of the media in attendance.
Liverpool Echo writer Ian Doyle gave the Spaniard a 6/10 in his post-match player ratings, noting how 'one piece of trickery soon got supporters onside'.
