Early Champions League elimination to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain was a rare blemish on a hugely successful campaign, Liverpool dumped out on penalties in a dramatic round of 16 second leg at Anfield.



The disappointment of that exit then carried over into the League Cup final a few days later against Newcastle United in which the Reds slumped to a miserable defeat.

And the feeling among the Reds squad is not dissimilar as they begin their latest crack at winning a seventh European Cup when they entertain Atletico Madrid.
