My uncle was a lifelong Liverpool fan. He died of Covid-19 last week. This Klopp team gave him so much joy in what turned out to be his final years. That is why they are champions, regardless of technicalities. Column

Back from Anfield. One of the many abiding memories of an epic night will be the reaction of the Barca fans. Acknowledged heroes and warriors, even though they wore red. Said a lot.

Fanfares for Foden, everyone going into raptures over Rashford - and rightly so. But how good was Declan Rice for an hour? Showed again why no player is more important to Gareth Southgate.
