Jurgen Klopp’s European record is littered with so many great nights, it feels anticlimactic that it will probably end in Atalanta’s Gewiss Stadium.

It felt written in the stars that it would come to a glorious conclusion in the Europa League Final on May 22 when Liverpool fans were ready to paint Dublin’s Aviva Stadium red.

Nowhere outside of England do Liverpool have a higher percentage of fans than in Ireland and many had already booked hotels to say farewell to Klopp.

Nor is Steven Gerrard remembered for being part of that 6-1 debacle at Stoke in May 2015 in his last game for Liverpool or Kenny Dalglish that loss at Swansea in 2012 in his final match as manager.

Klopp’s European record stands up there for all to see and his four major European finals match that of the great Bob Paisley.

That May night when Liverpool came back from 3-0 down to beat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield and reach the 2019 Champions League Final will never be forgotten.

Liverpool were missing Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, but Georginio Wijnaldum and Divock Origi delivered.

Until that night, the benchmark for European nights at Anfield was Liverpool’s 3-1 win over St Etienne in the 1977 European Cup quarter-finals when David Fairclough was the hero.
