SO, that’s that then. It wouldn’t be Liverpool unless we made it as dramatic as possible, or at least as dramatic as potentially needing a result on the last day when Champions League qualification could’ve been sewn up weeks ago. That Liverpool accomplished...
COMPARISONS in football are commonplace. Every one of us are prone to making them from the minute we become wise enough to hold up any form of reference point as fans of the game. There are positives and negatives to making comparisons in football. As a Liverpool fan...

“I think Anfield is number one in the world, so I think other stadiums will not impress us” Sadio Mane AND then there was one. One more step. One last hurdle. One remaining challenge standing between Liverpool Football Club and a place in another European Cup final....
