The new Messi: The 17-year-old at Liverpool who proved he was up to the task, impressed

On Wednesday night, Liverpool experienced an emotional night with the victory in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals against Southampton. However, beyond the result, there was one detail that caught the attention of the fans: Trey Nyoni's debut.

The young 17-year-old midfielder, who has been training with the first team since pre-season, had the opportunity to show his talent in an official match. Despite his young age, Nyoni did not look out of place and demonstrated a maturity and technical quality that surprised everyone.

"I think that this team, with what we have, still has many players from the youth team," said Arne Slot, Liverpool coach, during pre-season. And Nyoni was living proof of those words.

Despite being substituted in the 86th minute, the young talent left a big impression on fans, who were quick to praise his performance on social media. Many highlighted his calm, technique and ability to play under pressure.

"Bright futures for Trey Nyoni," wrote one fan on X. Another added: "Great performance so far from the youngsters! Tyler Morton and James McConnell! Calm and cool under pressure. Trey Nyoni is also showing flashes of technique and class!"

With this promising debut, Nyoni has earned himself a place on the radar of Liverpool fans and coaching staff. However, he will likely have to wait for further opportunities to establish himself in the first team as the competition is high.

"Nyoni's performance was decent, especially for his first start for Liverpool against an experienced Southampton midfield," noted Liverpool.com. "It will likely be some time before the 17-year-old gets more first-team minutes, but he produced an assured performance, and one that Liverpool will be pleased with."

The future is bright for Trey Nyoni. His talent and maturity at such a young age suggest he could become a key player for Liverpool in the coming years. Fans are already eager to see more of him and keep a close eye on his progression.
