Thierry Henry and Alexis Sanchez in an XI of double runners-up captained by John Terry
Liverpool’s dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup has resulted in the Blues losing both domestic finals this year.
Meanwhile, despite their fantastic campaign so far, Jurgen Klopp’s side could still face coming out second best in the Premier League and Champions League if results don’t go the right way for them over the next couple of weeks. Here’s an XI made up of players who had a part in their side finishing as runners-up in at least two competitions in the same season.
Goalkeeper: David de Gea
David de Gea may well be one of the few Manchester United players to emerge with any credit this season following a dreadful campaign that can end with a sixth-place finish at best. Unlike De Gea, the Red Devils fared much better last year, with a runners-up spot in the Premier League and a silver medal in the Europa League, where the Spanish ‘keeper came under fire for failing to save any of Villarreal’s 11 penalties in the shootout, before missing his own spot-kick to give Unai Emery’s men the victory. If you fancy a goalkeeper challenge, try naming the ‘keeper who kept out De Gea’s penalty.
