Humbling to listen to some of the men and women who escaped the central pens in the Leppings Lane terrace at Hillsborough. It takes unbelievable courage to open up about that day and the consequences. Please take the time to read their stories. No paywall.

At Marine, where the floodlights have gone out. One of Dunston’s midfielders is a spark and he’s trying to sort it out. Now on the phone to a mate back in the north east.

Attention Britain! Cancel your leisure activities but continue to go to work (providing your workplace isn't at a football ground).

Anfield's ball boys were instructed last night to serve Liverpool's players quickly after the club's match analysts noticed how Barcelona dawdled around set pieces. Fourteen-year-old Oakley Cannonier will never forget his role in an incredible night.

Andy Robertson has been absolutely brilliant for Liverpool this season.

Dier fouls Firmino and this prompts him to move the ball from his hand to Firmino’s hand. Fifty yards later, Liverpool score. Outcome: Tottenham free kick. Make sense of that.

Football NARRATIVE. At Villa Park last week, Liverpool were denied two barely discussed penalties and had a goal FAIRLY ruled out in accordance with the new rules because Firmino’s armpit hair had strayed beyond the last defender. They found a way to win. Lucky again, I guess.

Henderson bollocking Chamberlain (his best mate). Klopp bollocking Van Dijk (his best player). This is a loud Liverpool team. Nobody spared. Could hear them in the din of Molineux. Alisson incredible again. There when you need him. He leaves the pitch with Firmino. What a finish.

It wouldn’t be a proper Champions League campaign without at least one crap result for Liverpool.

That old Bill Shankly saying about the two best teams in the city being Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

Liverpool could be investigated after the postponement of the Arsenal game last week. Mathematically unusual that only one player suddenly has COVID after further testing. Understand an independent lab had previously delivered positive results.

Jürgen Klopp, a choker. Jordan Henderson, rubbish captain. Mohamed Salah, one-season wonder. Divock Origi, Wolfsburg. Liverpool: European champions. From Madrid. With love.
By conquering Europe, Liverpool returned to heights where they belong
