As England fans’ dreams of ‘football coming home’ ended with defeat to France in the World Cup quarter-finals, the dreams of Liverpool supporters are only just beginning.
The Three Lions had been one of the more impressive sides in Qatar, and were the better team for the majority of their clash with the reigning world champions. But alas, as good as they were on the night, overall France are just that teensy bit better.
It is a frustration Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool know only too well, having repeatedly fallen just short behind Pep Guardiola’s Man City in recent seasons while still winning every major honour on offer to them.
