The day after the most remarkable season in recent memory, hundreds of thousands lined the streets of Liverpool to celebrate a double cup-winning campaign which, but for the narrowest of margins, was so nearly a quadruple. A club-record 147 goals were scored in all competitions as the Reds thrilled and entertained in equal measure for 63 games of a season filled with breathtaking football and incredible drama. Silverware was secured by the way of sudden-death penalty shoot-outs in both the Carabao and FA Cups, with Caoimhin Kelleher and Kostas Tsimikas scoring the decisive spot-kicks to become the heroes. In the Premier League, Liverpool chased Manchester City right to the final whistle, with just one solitary point separating the two teams.
