We can thank two of the best teams in the history of football for that. It literally took a generational Real Madrid team of Modric Ramos Ronaldo Kroos Benzema Bale etc. to stop a team containing Milner Henderson Lallana Shaqiri Origi from winning three champions leagues in five years. No one else was putting them out.
Similarly in the league. We’re talking about the best manager of all time managing a team with the prem’s best ever midfielder, some of its greatest strikers, a few of its best ever defenders, all to only be able to finish ahead of these teams by 1 point twice (and hopefully a third time) otherwise we’d be looking at 4 titles for Klopp.
Quite frankly the squad Amorim will be picking up is nowhere near the one City have. They shouldn’t be anywhere near them in the league or ever troubling the top of the CL. Here’s hoping Klopp’s drug bloke has left the building with him and they’ll start playing more like they do in those odd seasons when they cycle off and teams are running past Alexander Arnold and Van Dijk for fun, and they have to swap their 29 year old midfielders out because they’re all finished and too old.
