Liverpool fans always hoped to see their side lift silverware this season, but when Jürgen Klopp announced his decision to step down as manager at the end of the current campaign, winning titles became even more important.
The German is beloved in Merseyside, after eight glorious seasons in charge, and supporters were keen to see him go out with a bang. So it was just as well the club secured the first trophy available to them this year, just a few weeks after Klopp's January announcement.
