Скачать или смотреть 'Best club in world' - Klopp on board Liverpool parade bus celebrating 2021-22 season

You could have been forgiven for thinking Liverpool had realised their quadruple dream judging by the reception they got on Sunday's parade through the city.

The Premier League and Champions League trophies eluded Jurgen Klopp's men in the last eight days, but they returned from Paris to a heroes' welcome as tens of thousands of fans lined an eight-mile route to see them parade the FA Cup and Carabao Cup - plus the FA Women's Championship.

A quadruple of major trophies, for possibly the greatest ever single season by a club in football history, was in tantalizing reach.

Except Manchester City pulled off a stunning late comeback - three goals in five minutes - in a final-day win in the Premier League last weekend to finish one point ahead of Liverpool.

Then Klopp’s team lost 1-0 to Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday to be denied a seventh European Cup.

The history books will say Liverpool finished the 2021-22 season with the League Cup and FA Cup trophies, both secured after penalty shootouts following 0-0 draws.
