Jurgen Klopp dubbed Liverpool's 2020 title triumph 'nearly perfect'(Image: PA)

Liverpool's title win five years ago under Jurgen Klopp was dubbed 'near perfect' by the German.

But, Arne Slot's Reds haven't had to be anywhere near faultless during their successful top-flight campaign, with rivals lacking.
