It wasn't to be.
Liverpool's attempts to land their seventh European crown, and second Champions League success, ended in heartbreak in Paris as Real Madrid claimed a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Vinicius Junior.
Only a week ago the quadruple had been on, with the Premier League title within their grasp before Manchester City's remarkable comeback against Aston Villa, where three goals in the final 12 minutes delivered the crown to Pep Guardiola's side. The focus for Liverpool quickly switched to Paris and taking on the Spanish giants, but it wasn't the fairytale ending that Reds fans had hoped for. Financially, it also wasn't the ending that they had dreamed of.
