When Liverpool walk out in Paris on Saturday night, it could be for the last time.
Not just the last match of an exhausting, brilliant season — but their last match as the Liverpool we recognise. The first Premier League champions under Jurgen Klopp, the serial Champions League finalists, conquerors of Barcelona against all odds, the three-pronged attack that terrified all of Europe.
Nothing is for ever in football. Gerard Houllier said that, looking around an empty Old Trafford after another Liverpool defeat. Back then, it seemed unimaginable that such a club could ever go without the title for nine years, and counting, in the modern era.
