The sight of Jürgen Klopp and his players celebrating in Madrid after winning the European Cup last June brought back poignant memories for Phil Thompson.
Thompson lifted the same trophy himself as Liverpool captain in 1981, and 20 years later he was assistant manager when the club achieved a cup treble under Gerard Houllier.
Before the miracle of Istanbul and the iconic scenes inside the Ataturk Stadium in 2005, the Reds were victorious in another of the most dramatic European finals of all time.
On May 16, 2001, at Borussia Dortmund's Westfalenstadion, Houllier's men eventually defeated Spanish side Alaves 5-4 to hoist aloft the UEFA Cup.
