He was named on the bench for Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League 3–0 quarter final victory against Manchester City on 4 April 2018.[7] Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp commented upon the confidence Masterson showed when he was informed he would be involved in the match day squad, reportedly informing Klopp that he was “ready”.[8] He was named in Liverpool’s Premier League squad for the match against Everton on 7 April 2018 and was included on the substitutes' bench.[9]
