# Liverpool fans in raptures over footage of academy duo

Many [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/12/15/diogo-jota-absence-hands-opportunity-to-liverpool-fringe-players/)fans have been getting excited on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/F9Txrres/status/1338595525575249922) over footage of academy prospects James Balagizi and Mateusz Musialowski.

The 13-second video shows the two 17-year-olds combining during the young Reds’[4-1 victory over Middlesbrough](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/academy/419806-match-report-u18s-middlesbrough-liverpool) in the Under-18 Premier League.

Musialowski, a Polish youngster, only arrived at the club this summer, whilst Manchester-born Balagizi graduated from the club’s academy.

Liverpool’s under-18s [sit second in the table](https://www.premierleague.com/tables?team=U18) behind Manchester United’s youngsters. Another Red youngster in Layton Stewart has set the league alight thus far, [sitting top of the scoring charts](https://www.scoreboard.com/uk/standings/AgxvbTji/hOtkGG32/#top_scorers) with 13 goals this season.

With another teenager, [Harvey Elliott](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/12/09/fans-outlines-wishes-for-harvey-elliott-future/), currently out on loan [making an impression in the Championship](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harvey-elliott/leistungsdaten/spieler/565822)for Blackburn Rovers, the Reds can be very optimistic about the plethora of talent coming through the ranks.

Here’s a pick of the best reactions as these Liverpool fans got excited over the prospects of having yet more emerging stars to [follow in the footsteps of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/alexander-arnold-journey-skinny-teen-liverpool/1p2vjlc5lmbc51u5jzjq2edu34).
