Intensity, smiles and Lewandowski: Inside Liverpool's first open session under Iraola

Liverpool's pre-season preparations under new head coach Andoni Iraola are gathering pace, with the first open training session drawing plenty of attention at the club's training ground. According to BBC Sport, the session was marked by a clear theme: intensity, smiles and the unexpected presence of Robert Lewandowski.

The report describes a high-energy workout in which Iraola's methods were already visible, with players pushed hard while maintaining a positive atmosphere. The fact that Lewandowski featured in the session naturally raised eyebrows, though BBC Sport offered few further details on the striker's involvement.

For supporters, the open session was a first chance to see the team adapt to the new manager's demands. While it remains early days, the early signs suggest a demanding but upbeat environment as Liverpool ready themselves for the season ahead.
