Smooth sailing, so Sadio’s strop provides drama

Until 2019, I’d never seen Liverpool win a European tie after losing the first leg 3-0. That it was against Barcelona, and the world’s greatest ever player, only embellishes the miracle.

I’d never witnessed 13 league wins in a row either, or a defender — our defender — be crowned Europe’s best player. This is why we keep at it. You’re never done seeing things you’ve never seen before.
