The ballboy whose quick-thinking made him a Liverpool hero has been identified as one of the club’s academy players.Oakley Cannonier was the boy who got the ball back to Trent Alexander-Arnold seconds before the defender whipped in a corner for Divock Origi to score the decisive goal in Liverpool’s 4-0 defeat of Barcelona that booked the Reds’ place in the Champions League final.
SIMPLY GENIUS Trent Alexander-Arnold spots Barcelona napping and Divock Origi makes no mistake!!!4-0 Liverpool Wow. pic.twitter.com/K05v1jgazZ— Football on BT Sport (@btsportfootball) May 7, 2019When a second ball rebounded onto the pitch, the youngster quickly retrieved it to allow the match to continue, which helped catch Barcelona off guard.It has now been revealed that 14-year-old Oakley, along with his fellow ballboys, was shown a video presentation before the match to highlight how slow Barcelona reacted to corners.Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, identified Barca’s defensive problems during the first-leg and wanted to take advantage when they rocked up at Anfield.And, boy, did it work! Oakley remembered the advice and reacted quickly to ensure Alexander-Arnold could take the corner with the visiting players completely unaware of what was going on.The youngster has since been identified as one of Liverpool’s academy players. According to the Independent, Oakley is originally from Leeds and ‘sometimes trains two age groups above his natural level’.Oakley’s quick-thinking was spoken about by former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness, who said the ballboy should be given two season tickets or a ticket to the Champions League final for his contribution.“Watch this, we will circle him,” Souness explained on Irish television. “It goes out for a corner. They are following the ball… watch the ballboy here.“He is already on the spot.
The ball boy is the unsung hero for the winning goal!!! #LFCFCB #LFC #YNWA #Liverpool #ANFIELD pic.twitter.com/EuqZTw774E— AK (@APKieran1) May 7, 2019“He [Alexander-Arnold] puts it down now. He goes to walk away and he realises there is a few dopes gone to sleep.

I said it last night. That ballboy needs to be rewarded by Liverpool. He rolled a ball to @trentaa98 while the first one was still on the pitch. Only 3 people alert at that time. Starting with that ballboy. Souness says the same.— Bill Sheppard (@APATBillShep) May 8, 2019
