Jurgen Klopp's biggest transfer miss broke Liverpool hearts before signing for Barcelona

For all the talk of Erling Haaland's excellence last season, one Manchester City player continued to go under the radar despite playing a role of huge importance.

Indeed, Ilkay Gundogan offered a clear reminder of his talent when scoring both goals in City's 2-1 FA Cup final win at Wembley. Making a habit of producing when it truly counts in recent years, this theme was maintained as the Sky Blues took a giant step towards to their eventual treble after overcoming their local rivals.

Liverpool will require no reminding of the German's ability to deliver in big moments, however, having scored twice on the final day of the 2021/22 season versus Aston Villa to prevent the Reds from claiming a second Premier League title in cruel fashion. Fortunately, the midfielder will no longer be able to inflict further pain after completing a move to Barcelona on a two-year deal.
