Liverpool won the 2019 Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur and John W. Henry showed he knows a thing or two about Jurgen Klopp and the club.
2018 is expected to be a special season for Henry Klopp and Liverpool. Especially after his team started with two losses in their first 14 games.
Despite missing out on Champions League glory last campaign, Henry said he is set for big things after watching Liverpool’s performance earlier in the season.”Kiev was difficult. But I’d say we’re a bit ahead of schedule to get there,”
Henry said when asked about Liverpool’s performance in 2018.”I think Jurgen solved our defensive problems. We are very strong in defence, very strong in midfield and everyone knows how good we are.
“This is a very special team and it could be a special season.”And it was a special team. The Reds finished second in the Premier League that season behind Manchester City.
Just a point separated the two teams, with both Liverpool and City dominating the competition, demolishing the teams on goal difference and total points.
Klopp’s side finished second in the Premier League, but Liverpool put in an impressive performance in the Champions League.
After licking their wounds after losing 3-1 to Real Madrid last year, Reds were careful to avoid a repeat of the same failure.
Liverpool, who finished second in the group stage behind Paris Saint-Germain, beat German powerhouse Bayern, Portuguese side Porto and title favorites Barcelona in the semi-finals.
Despite missing Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino, Liverpool overcame a 3-0 deficit to win 4-3 at Anfield thanks to goals from Divock Origi and Giorgino Wijnaldum.
Then, when they faced Tottenham in their first Champions League final, Liverpool showed in the early stages what they are capable of.
