Liverpool just had a lucky year really. No other top team performed in the Champs League. We also fucked a 3-0 up, which should never happen. Heck, Liverpool and Spurs both finished 2nd in their group. I think Liverpool only performed well against Bayern away, Barcelona at home and Porto away. They were shit for the other games.
We literally blew it big time. I honestly don't get how Valverde is still in the job after throwing away 2 3 goal advantages 2 years in a row and losing to Valencia in the final.
