THIS Sunday, Liverpool will contest for the first of a potential seven trophies in 2019-20 when they take on Manchester City in the Community Shield. As is tradition, Wembley plays host to this annual curtain raiser but the fixture itself has been derided in recent...
SEVEN of those who started in Madrid in the first 11 tonight; nine of those who appeared. It would be fair to say that the European Champions were ramping it up against Sporting Lisbon and that was clear from the first minute. But Liverpool found themselves one down...
