Liverpool do not forget the Champions League final in Paris

One of the biggest challenges that footballers in Europe expect to face is the final of a UEFA Champions League, as well as being the most important tournament on the old continent at club level, anyone who wins it will be immortalised in its history, with fond memories of those who win it, but there are also bitter memories of those who have the misfortune of losing it, this being the case of Liverpool, current runners-up of the crown.

No matter how much you lose, you will always have the ghost of that loss in your mind, a situation that does not change the fact, but it does change the way you face future challenges. Something like that is what Jordan Henderson is experiencing after Liverpool's defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final on 28 May in Paris, arguing that his team probably didn't perform at the level they were expected to, but even with those problems they were good enough to put the current King of Europe in trouble.

It is well known that games are about goals and not deserved goals as Jordan Hederson put it, for as much as his side were capable enough to have stood up to Real Madrid for the full 90 minutes, the Anfield side simply came up against a more solid team line for line, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois a standout performer who never wavered in the face of the English onslaught.

Having lost two Champions League finals against Real Madrid in a short space of time, both Hederson and Liverpool are hurting as the Merengues robbed them of the chance not only to shine again in Europe's biggest tournament, but also robbed them of the prominence they had been enjoying both in the Premier League and across the continent.

Liverpool wants to win the Champions League again

Although the Reds were already crowned in this tournament in 2019 where they beat Tottenham in the final by a score of 2-0, both Jurgen Klopp and all the staff at Anfield want to be crowned again in this tournament to tie Bayern Munich with seven titles and finally be among the best teams in the competition. For the time being, the English have not had the best of luck in this 2022-2023 edition of the competition, opening with a 4-1 drubbing at Napoli and a dramatic home win over Ajax.
