A remarkable, unforgettable season was drawing to a close when Jurgen Klopp saw fit to approach Liverpool youngsters Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones.
"I said to them ‘this is only the start’," recalled the Reds boss. "And they were like ‘yes, with us on the pitch’. It’s really nice."
The closing weeks had indeed seen a notable landmark for the duo, who started a first-team game for Liverpool together for the first time when playing alongside each other in midfield in the 2-1 win at Southampton in the penultimate Premier League game.
