Liverpool’s Champions League quartet launch new adventure in Saudi Pro League

In 2019, Liverpool were crowned kings of Europe after a thrilling run in the Champions League, culminating in that unforgettable 4-0 win over Barcelona and the 1-0 victory over Tottenham in the final.

The season after, the Reds walked away with the English Premier League, their first domestic championship in three decades. Then there was the FA Cup and League Cup wins in 2021-2022, as Liverpool fell agonizingly short of what would have been a historic quadruple.

Throw in the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup triumph and the Liverpool team built by Jurgen Klopp literally won everything there was to win.

The players who were part of that golden period have become legends at Anfield. Inevitably, such teams break up over time but few would have expected that by the summer of 2023, over a third of Klopp’s classic starting lineup are now preparing to start their first season in Saudi Arabia.
