Matchday three of the Champions League ends with Liverpool leading the tightest group in the competition after a stunning home win against Red Star Belgrade. 

When it comes to European clubs that have the Champions League /European Cup sewn into their DNA, Liverpool is amongst them. There was a time when the Merseysiders took their ferry all over Europe, annihilating everyone in their path, and while they may not be the dominant side they once were, they still come alive when Tony Britten’s classic anthem bursts through the tannoy.

Anfield was buzzing, as Anfield does on a Champions League night.

After Jürgen Klopp’s side beat Huddersfield 1-0, the German said he was winning ‘average’ matches for the first time in his career. He would have taken one of those after the disappointment in Naples. He got something else.
