Manx mascot to lead out Liverpool

Leo's hoping his team will win 4-0

An eight-year-old boy's dream of meeting the players of his favourite football team is coming true today (10 March). 

Leo Harrison has been chosen from thousands of others to lead out Liverpool ahead of their highly anticipated match against Manchester City. 

He told Manx Radio he 'jumped and screamed' when his father said that he will be a mascot.

Leo's favourite player is Virgil Van Dijk, who is also the captain of the team. 

He told Manx Radio he can't wait to tell the team that his dream of meeting them has "finally come true".
