Liverpool’s best moment this season

It has been the biggest year, yet, in the recent history of Liverpool Football Club, with the Jurgen Klopp-led brigade already securing three trophies midway through the season. The highlight was obviously the UEFA Champions League trophy in June last year, but the Reds have gone on to win the UEFA Super Cup, as well as the FIFA World Club Championship.

There is a growing feeling that the best is yet to come, as the league leaders stroll towards their first ever EPL trophy in 30 years. Liverpool currently lead second-placed and defending champions Manchester City by a staggering 22 points after 25 rounds of matches, which is the biggest gap ever at that point of the campaign. Liverpool and Manchester City were the big favorites for those who engage in premier league betting  by Betway english premier league soccer betting site, but the odds for Liverpool spiraled downwards long before the start of 2020.

Highlight of the Season

Jurgen Klopp led Liverpool to the finals of the League Cup in his second season with the club but lost to Pep Guardiola’s City in penalty shootouts. He pushed City the following year in a two-horse race premier league campaign, only to fall short by a single point. The 97 points amassed by Liverpool in the 2018/19 season were the most by any side finishing second, and also by far a better haul for previous winners.

It was a huge disappointment for the Merseysiders, but they found solace in winning the coveted European Champions League trophy in the same season. 

After failing in the hands of the much-fancied 11-time winners Real Madrid in the 2018 finals, Liverpool managed another strong push to the finals where they faced fellow English Premier League side Tottenham. Betway and other top bookmakers gave Liverpool an upper hand going into the match, and truly, there was not going to be another disappointment.

An early goal from the prolific Sadio Mane set the pace for a thrilling encounter, giving the travelling Liverpool fans hope that the cup was coming home. Spurs, under Mauricio Pochettino dominated proceedings for long spells of the match, but were unable to break a solid defense marshalled by Virgil Van Dijk. 

The Liverpool anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” was loud on the stands, as the fans cheered on their beloved team. Substitute Divock Origi added a second deep into the final minutes of the match, to put the game beyond Spurs. 

It had come home. Finally! Liverpool were champions of Europe for the sixth time, consolidating their place as the most successful side from England in Europe. The disappointment of not winning the EPL even after opening a 10-point lead at one point was quickly put behind.

The champions parade in the streets of Liverpool was such a spectacle. Merseyside had never witnessed anything like that in a long time. Captain Jordan Henderson and his troop sat with the European trophy on top of an open track as they waved through masses to a rousing welcome. 

Klopp’s first trophy had been delivered, and from the look of things, there is more to come. The 19th Premier League trophy is coming home in a matter of time, and the team is fully in the running for a second successive UCL trophy.
