Talking of records, if you lose on penalties it’s a defeat. The idea you can claim to be 26 games unbeaten in the Champions League when you lost to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals six months ago is ridiculous.

Neco Williams is an outstanding young #LFC player and a model professional. Jürgen Klopp and Ryan Giggs both have huge hopes for him. He’s 19, still learning and is bound to make the occasional mistake. Some so called fans plummeting a new low abusing him online after a 7-2 win.
