It’s coming up to three years since the Reds’ most recent Champions League final appearance, a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid which was overshadowed by farcical scenes outside the Stade de France due to negligent local policing. On the pitch, we were left cursing Thibaut Courtois, who pulled off save after save as Los Blancos somehow emerged victorious.

Had it not been for his keeper, Harvey Elliott's late goal might have been irrelevant but Alisson produced a career best display to help Liverpool survive Paris St Germain's onslaught in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday.
