Nights like these can, at times now during Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool reign, seem almost ordinary. Somewhat routine, dare it be said.
After all, an ultimately comfortable 3-1 win in a fourth Champions League quarter-final of his tenure feels as though it comes as standard now at Anfield. It is no longer an additional extra.
But make no mistake, the good times that are so evidently in front of each and every Liverpool supporter right now are not being taken for granted. Certainly not for those who packed themselves into the nosebleeds of Estadio da Luz on Tuesday night to watch their side take a giant stride towards the last four of the European Cup.
