Let's talk about six, baby. 12 months on from the heartbreak of Kiev, Liverpool are European champions!

Liverpool: The Road to Victory | 2019 | Documentary

If 2017/18's European run seemed a tad fortuitous, 2018/19's proved Liverpool are clearly one of the continent's very best sides and deserved winners.

Klopp's side survived another group stage scare, losing all three away games to Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade, meaning they had to a rely on a 1-0 victory over the Italians on the final gameweek to qualify for the knockouts.

From there on, however, it was vintage European Liverpool, as Bayern Munich and Porto were bested before one of the all-time great Champions League comebacks (or Red-montada) against Barcelona.

A sea of Liverpool fans made it to Madrid for the final, hoping to avenge the ghosts of Kiev in the city of their conquerors.

Tottenham proved stern opponents, but Liverpool's experience and class shone through as they kept Spurs at arm's length after Salah's very early penalty.

It wasn't a pretty final, devoid of the big chances and huge controversy to entertain the neutrals, but Liverpool and Klopp will be delighted to take the perfectly boring victory after too many drama-heavy near misses in recent years.
