Stefan Bajcetic’s Highlights and Statistics from Las Palmas vs Barcelona Emerge

Liverpool fans have had a lot to say about Stefan Bajcetic since highlights of his performance for Las Palmas against Barcelona leaked on social media. The defensive midfielder progressed through the Reds’ youth but is not yet ready to make an impact in the first squad. As a result, he’s been loaned out this season to further his development. He was first loaned to Red Bull Salzburg for the 2024/25 season, but was recalled in January and transferred to Las Palmas in Spain for the second half of the season.

The 20-year-old has played four games for the La Liga club and scored one goal, but his most recent appearance against Barcelona has piqued the interest of Liverpool fans. Keen to keep an eye on their young prospect’s progress, a video of his highlights has leaked on X (Twitter), and Reds fans are expressing their opinions on the social networking platform.
