It is an old adage that those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.
A year ago today, I remember walking down the banks of the Canal Saint-Denis on my way to watch Liverpool FC play in another Champions League final. There's a certain romance attached to winning a European Cup and the way Paris basked in the glorious Spring sunshine on May 28, 2022 was further proof in my mind that this was the perfect backdrop for the Reds to seal a magnificent seventh trophy win in the competition.
I walked down the banks of the canal sipping a bottle of beer, having a laugh with friends and was overcome with a sense that these were indeed the days and I was about to finally be in the ground to witness my team lift the most prestigious trophy in club football.
