The end of the 2021/22 season was a time of almost nonstop work for Liverpool as they chased a quadruple, but there was one night when the club’s staff let their hair down.
By mid-April, Liverpool had already won the Carabao Cup and still had their sights on the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League. It was a time of preparation, squad rotation and intense focus for Jurgen Klopp and his side.
But on Wednesday, April 20 – the day after a thumping 4-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield and three days before the Merseyside derby – there was a gap in the schedule. A gap big enough to squeeze in a stag do. It was elite development coach Vitor Matos' bachelor party – and they weren’t about to let the opportunity slide.
