"It's a bit of a dream come true if I'm honest," the defender, who signed for the club from Lucan United in 2012, told LFCTV.
"It was surreal. I got told Thursday that I was going to go up and train at Melwood and then on Friday I travelled with the team."
"We had the team talk and I got told I was on the bench. I just couldn't believe it. It was an unbelievable feeling. I was taken aback to be honest."
Masterson also revealed the words of encouragement he received from his manager.
"Jurgen Klopp just said to me 'if you get a chance to go on, then go out and enjoy yourself. There's no pressure on you. Just go and do your best.'"

Masterson has captained the Republic of Ireland at U-17 level, and was last year named Irish U-16 player of the year.
Hopefully he can continue his progression at Liverpool and receive another call-up to the senior side.Explore more on these topics:
