Liverpool have succeeded in winning the Champions League for the sixth time, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2 goals to 1 on Saturday.
The sixth star sewn onto the Liverpool shirt, a club that keeps winning the biggest prize of all through different eras and generations.
A place for Jurgen Klopp amongst the greats at Anfield, where they have a European history unsurpassed in the English game of stupendous performances and great finals – of which, strangely, this, the occasion of their sixth European Cup, was neither.
It is hard to reconcile the immense achievement of Klopp’s Liverpool, the transformation of a mediocre Premier League team into the champions of Europe in less than four years, with this: a final forgettable in every aspect save the outcome.
