Xabi Alonso: Liverpool have made 'unbelievable' progress
A thrilling, goal-laden run to last month’s showpiece in Kiev ended in sorrow for the Reds, who were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid.
The memories of how Jürgen Klopp’s team journeyed to the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium are unlikely to fade any time soon, though.
Seventeen goals were scored in knockout tie victories over FC Porto, Manchester City and AS Roma, while Maribor and Spartak Moscow were each thrashed 7-0 in the group stages.
As well as performing brilliantly on the continent, Liverpool also ensured they will again compete among Europe’s elite next term by securing a top-four finish in the Premier League for the second season in a row.
