Arguably one of the biggest compliments that could be paid towards Jurgen Klopp’s impact at Liverpool, is it being unfathomable the idea of a lack of European football.
When Klopp first walked through the doors at Anfield in October 2015, the Reds were in the Europa League and looking to reignite past glory with a campaign to be proud of on the continent. In the end, the final in Basel finished in disappointment for a number of reasons.
The obvious one is, of course, losing a final. The other was it meant that Liverpool would be competing the following season without any European football at all, after finishing eighth in the Premier League.
