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. Days later in the UEFA Champions League Final in Paris, only an unbelievable performance by Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois denied the Reds a seventh European crown. Featuring highlights from every game, the triumphant homecoming and a tribute to the legend that is Divock Origi, this really is a season to savour.
